About Feast of Saint Margaret

At the beginning of September, Pantigliate celebrates its patron saint, Saint Margaret, with the most cherished festival of the year. A recurrence that combines the religious dimension, with the solemn open-air mass, with that of the town: community lunch, entertainment for children, inflatables, stalls in Piazza della Fontana, and the traditional moments of gathering organized by the parish, in the heart of South Milan.

The feast of the patron saint of Pantigliate

The Patronal Feast of Saint Margaret is the most anticipated event of the year in Pantigliate, a Municipality in South Milan within the Metropolitan City of Milan. Saint Margaret is the patron saint of the town and is traditionally celebrated on the first Sunday of September, with celebrations involving the entire community.

The feast is organized by the Parish of Saint Margaret, which brings together Pantigliate with the hamlets of Vigliano and Bettolino, along with the oratory and local associations. It is a town festival in the truest sense: the moment when the community comes together around its church and its traditions.

Between solemn mass and community celebration

The religious heart of the feast is the solemn mass, celebrated outdoors, followed by moments of conviviality. Past editions have included a community lunch, entertainment and inflatables for the little ones, stalls, and an evening in Piazza della Fontana, with a lottery draw to conclude the festivities.

For those who want to experience the life of the towns in the plain southeast of Milan, the feast of Saint Margaret is a genuine opportunity, far from the major tourist circuits and close to local tradition.
