About Patronal Feast of Ponte San Pietro
The Patrons of Ponte San Pietro
In Ponte San Pietro, an important center in the Isola Bergamasca area of the province of Bergamo, the feast of the patron saints Saints Peter and Paul (June 29th) is the most anticipated event of the year. The festival combines religious observance with a rich program of civil events that liven up the village overlooking the Brembo River.
The Village Celebrates
From the late afternoon of June 29th, the historic center is closed to traffic and transformed into a pedestrian zone: shops open, music, shows, exhibitions, and food stalls. The town band performs concerts with brass and percussion along Via Vittorio Emanuele, while other squares host live concerts and DJ sets.
Between Fireworks and Traditions
The program includes activities for children with a play area, street artists, amusement park rides in Piazza della Libertà, and the original bell tower climb organized by the CAI. The most anticipated moment is the evening fireworks display, with fireworks reflected on the river waters. A celebration that enhances the identity of Ponte San Pietro and the Isola Bergamasca, blending faith, folklore, and social interaction.
