Patronal Feast of the Madonna di Monte Berico (Restena di Arzignano)
The patronal feast of the hamlet of Restena, between faith and gastronomy
About Restena Feast
The Restena Festival
Among the hamlets of West Vicentino, the hamlet of Restena, in Arzignano province of Vicenza, celebrates its patronal feast every year: the Feast of the Madonna di Monte Berico. The occasion is linked to Marian devotion which culminates on September 8th, the feast day of the Madonna di Monte Berico, patron saint of the city and the Vicenza territory.
Two Weekends of Gastronomy
The festival takes place over two weekends, between late August and early September. The heart of the festival is the gastronomic stand, which offers local traditional specialties, from first courses to grilled meats, to local desserts and cheeses.
Faith, Music, and Community
Alongside the food, the program combines religious moments—celebrations, Eucharistic adoration, and the evocative tradition of the torch lit from Monte Berico—with musical evenings, entertainment, and recreational activities for young people, families, and children. It is a festival that unites the community of the hamlet and renews an ancient bond with the Marian sanctuary of the Berici Hills.
A Tradition of West Vicentino
The Restena Festival is an anticipated end-of-summer event in Arzignano, capable of enhancing the hamlet's identity and attracting visitors from neighboring municipalities, in the heart of West Vicentino.
