Patronal Feast of Saint Mark

The Patron Saint of Casirate d'Adda

The Patronal Feast of Saint Mark is the most important event in the calendar of Casirate d'Adda, a municipality in the Province of Bergamo located along the banks of the Adda River, on the border with the metropolitan city of Milan. The town's patron saint is Saint Mark the Evangelist, celebrated as tradition dictates on April 25th, a fixed date in the Catholic liturgical calendar.

A Community Feast

The patronal feast has always been a moment of strong cohesion for Casirate d'Adda: the entire community gathers around the religious celebrations in honour of the saint, in a day that combines faith, tradition, and conviviality. Promoted by the Municipality, it is an event open to all and free to attend, designed to involve families, the elderly, and children.

Between Faith and Tradition

As happens in many villages in the Lombardy plain, the feast of the patron saint is an occasion to rediscover the roots of the town and the connection with the Adda territory. The Feast of Saint Mark represents an identity-defining event for Casirate d'Adda, passed down from generation to generation, marking the arrival of spring in the Bergamo countryside.
