About Feast of Saint Bartholomew
The patron saint of Barzago
The Patronal Feast of Saint Bartholomew celebrates the patron saint of Barzago, a town in Brianza in the province of Lecco. The liturgical anniversary of Saint Bartholomew the Apostle falls on August 24th, and the celebrations are concentrated around this date, spread over several days between late August and early September.
Between liturgy and village festival
The religious heart of the feast is the solemn Mass on Sunday, accompanied by a procession and a brass band. A very rich popular program unfolds around it: evenings of music and karaoke, group dances, traditional cuisine, entertainment for children, craft markets, and a funfair.
Traditions and flavors of Brianza
The feast is also an opportunity to rediscover local traditions and regional flavors, with aperitifs featuring salami and fried dumplings, watermelon parties, and convivial moments. Animated by the pastoral community and the associations of Barzago, the Feast of Saint Bartholomew is one of the most anticipated events in the town's calendar, in the heart of Lecco Brianza.
