About Feast of Saint Roch

The Patronal Feast of Saint Roch is the traditional festival of the San Rocco district of Arzignano, in the West Vicenza area. On the late August days, Piazzetta San Rocco comes alive with mass and procession, dancing evenings with ballroom music and DJs, and the food stand offering fritters with maresina, grilled meats, and traditional dishes.

The Feast of Saint Roch

Every year, in August, the San Rocco district of Arzignano, in the province of Vicenza, celebrates its patron saint with the Patronal Feast of Saint Roch. The festival takes place in Piazzetta San Rocco, in the heart of the district, and combines the religious dimension with a convivial and gastronomic one.

Religious and Popular Tradition

The spiritual heart of the festival are the mass and the procession in honor of Saint Roch. The popular festival develops around these celebrations, with dancing evenings accompanied by traditional Venetian ballroom music and DJ sets for younger audiences.

Specialties on the Table

The food stand offers the typical flavors of the festival: fritters with maresina (the aromatic herb symbol of Vicenza's popular pastry-making), grilled meats, and traditional side dishes. An opportunity to gather around good food, in the late summer festive atmosphere.

A Neighborhood Festival

The Feast of Saint Roch is an important event for the district's community, capable of attracting residents and visitors from the surrounding areas, and valorizing the identity of one of the many facets of the Municipality of Arzignano, in the West Vicenza area.
