About Patronal Feast of Varedo
The patron saint's feast of Varedo
The Patronal Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary is the most cherished event in Varedo, a municipality in the Province of Monza and Brianza. Devotion to Our Lady of the Rosary, the patron saint of the city, is traditionally celebrated in October and accompanies the religious feast with a day of activities that involve the entire town.
A large fair along Via Vittorio Emanuele II
For the occasion, Via Vittorio Emanuele II and the streets of the center host a large fair. Among the stalls, there is space for stalls, artisans and creators, painters, collectors, vintage and retro items, as well as agricultural products and food and wine offerings. It's an opportunity for a stroll among the exhibitors' offerings, in a festive atmosphere that attracts visitors from neighboring municipalities as well.
The districts and the 'albero della cuccagna'
Alongside the fair, Varedo's patronal feast preserves some deeply rooted traditions: the district games, with the different city neighborhoods competing, and the 'albero della cuccagna' (greased pole), an ancient test of skill and strength that has always attracted the public. The program is completed by a funfair, music, and entertainment, on a day that intertwines the religious, popular, and community dimensions of the city.
