Edition 2025 — Festival of Saint Michael

In 2025, the Festival of Saint Michael the Archangel in Villanova del Ghebbo celebrated its 100th edition, from September 19th to 29th. Ten days of celebration for the centenary, featuring typical gastronomy, dancing evenings, a luna park, exhibitions, sporting events, and a grand fireworks display, in honor of the patron saint Saint Michael.

The 2025 edition of the Festival of Saint Michael the Archangel marked a historic milestone: the one hundredth anniversary of the event, from September 19th to 29th. The days of September 25th-27th featured theatrical performances, nostalgic music evenings (with 90s music by FLY90), vintage car exhibitions, and dancing.

Sunday, September 28th, the central day, included health screenings, boat trips along the river, activities for children, majorettes, and an evening of dancing with the Orchestra Mirko ed Elisa, concluding with fireworks at 11:30 PM. Monday, September 29th, the patron saint's day, featured a solemn mass at 7:00 PM and a dinner show with a lottery draw. Throughout the festival, the gastronomic stand offered codfish, pumpkin cappellacci, and duck bigoli, alongside a luna park and craft demonstrations.
