Patronal Feast of Saints Peter and Paul in Brebbia
Faith, music, and tradition for the patrons of Brebbia, on Lake Maggiore
About Saints Peter and Paul
The Patrons of Brebbia
Saints Peter and Paul are the patrons of Brebbia, a municipality in the province of Varese on the Lombard shore of Lake Maggiore. Their feast, celebrated around the solemnity of June 29th, is one of the most heartfelt moments of the year and represents an opportunity for the community to come together through faith, tradition, and conviviality.
Religious Celebrations
The spiritual heart of the feast is the solemn Mass on Sunday, accompanied by moments of reflection dedicated to the figures of the two apostles and their legacy. The celebrations conclude on the solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul, renewing the town's bond with its patrons.
Food Stalls, Music, and Piazza Festivities
Alongside the religious moments, the feast offers a rich popular program. The food stalls offer traditional specialties - from gnocchetti to ribs, from polenta with Gorgonzola to polenta with stew, with salamelle, tomini, and other offerings - while the evenings are enlivened by music and shows, with concerts and tribute bands. A feast that intertwines devotion and entertainment, telling the story of a Verbano village in the heart of the Varese area.
