Patronal Feast of Ponte Selva

A Hamlet Festival in Val Seriana

The Patronal Feast of Ponte Selva is the summer event that enlivens the hamlet of Ponte Selva, belonging to the municipality of Parre, in Val Seriana, province of Bergamo. The feast is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and represents one of the most heartfelt moments of the year for the small community of the hamlet, located along the Serio river valley.

Around the Oratory

The heart of the feast is the Oratory of Ponte Selva, around which the festive evenings take place. Alongside the religious celebrations in honor of the patron saint, the program includes convivial moments with gastronomic and musical evenings, generally from 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM. It is an opportunity for the community to come together and for visitors to discover the genuine hospitality of the small towns in Val Seriana.

Between Faith and Community

Like many patronal feasts in the towns of Bergamo, that of Ponte Selva intertwines devotion to the Sacred Heart with popular and convivial life. It doesn't aim for large numbers but for authenticity: it is the feast of a hamlet that recognizes itself in its traditions and simply welcomes those who choose to participate, in the heart of the province of Bergamo.
