About Festival of Vangadizza

In the hamlet of Vangadizza, in Legnago, the patronal festival celebrates the Nativity of the Most Holy Mary with five evenings of celebration: a food stand with traditional Venetian dishes, big dance orchestras on a steel dance floor, a youth area with DJs, and moments of devotion. A village festival born in 1997 around the parish church, where cuisine, music, and community intertwine under the banner of the Child Mary.

The Festival of the Nativity of Mary in Vangadizza

The Patronal Festival of Vangadizza takes place in the hamlet of the same name in Legnago, in the Lower Veronese area, in honor of the Nativity of the Most Holy Mary, patroness of the parish. Established in its current form in 1997 around the parish seat, it is a classic Venetian village festival where the religious and convivial dimensions coexist.

Venetian Cuisine and Dancing

The heart of the festival is the food stand, open every evening, with traditional specialties: Venetian-style risotto, duck lasagna, grilled meats, and, upon request, vegan options. The evenings are accompanied by big dance orchestras, performing on a steel dance floor, while the youth area offers evenings with DJs. Every evening, before the festivities, the Holy Rosary is recited.

A Community Celebration

Organized by the Festival Committee, the festival is an event rooted in the life of the hamlet and the entire Municipality of Legnago (province of Verona): it takes place in a covered venue, ensuring the evenings can proceed even in case of bad weather, with free admission.
