Patronal Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and Saint Juliet

The summer feast of the Oltrepò village

In Santa Giuletta, in the province of Pavia, in the heart of the Oltrepò Pavese, the summer patronal feast is one of the most anticipated moments of the year. Dedicated to Our Lady of Mount Carmel, it takes place in July and combines the religious dimension with conviviality, bringing the entire village community together. It is organized by the Associazione Sancta Julita, which has been taking care of every detail of the event for years.

Four days of faith and conviviality

The heart of the feast is the procession of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, which winds through the village streets on Friday evening, starting from the Belvedere of Palazzo Isimbardi to the Castle Church. Saturday is dedicated to the grand dinner in the piazza, a convivial moment that brings together residents and visitors in the churchyards and streets of the center. On Sunday and Monday, religious celebrations continue with masses in honor of the patron saint.

An identity event

The patronal feast of Santa Giuletta is much more than a recurrence: it is the moment when the village comes together around its roots, between devotion and tradition. For those exploring the Oltrepò Pavese in summer, a land of hills and vineyards, it is an opportunity to discover the authenticity of a village festival and the hospitality of a community that values conviviality.
