About Feast of Saint Lawrence
The Patron Saint's Feast
The Patronal Feast of Saint Lawrence is the big summer event in Palosco, in the province of Bergamo, in the heart of eastern Lower Bergamo. In honor of the patron saint, celebrated on August 10th, the town comes alive for a week of festivities that transform Piazza Castello into the center of community life.
Food, Funfair, and Shows
The program intertwines religious tradition and popular celebration. The feast's kitchen offers typical dishes from the Bergamo tradition, while in Piazza Manzoni the funfair entertains young and old for the entire duration of the event. Between concerts, live shows, themed evenings, and the traditional greasy pole, each day offers moments of fun and togetherness.
Faith and Community
The religious heart of the feast is the solemn mass with the procession in honor of Saint Lawrence, the most heartfelt moment of the celebrations. The event traditionally concludes with the fireworks display, which lights up the sky of Palosco, bidding farewell to the end of the feast. An event that every year renews the sense of community and belonging of the inhabitants, combining the spiritual dimension with that of conviviality and popular tradition.
