About Polegge in Festa
The Polegge Festival
Polegge in Festa is the festival that enlivens the Polegge neighbourhood every early summer, on the northern outskirts of Vicenza. It takes place at the Sports Field and Parish Centre and is organized by the parish of San Giovanni Evangelista, as part of the Fuori Porta San Bortolo Pastoral Unit. A community festival that brings together families, young people, and residents of the district.
The Fritola di Polegge
The specialty that gives the festival its identity is the Fritola di Polegge, a traditional fried dessert that is the true star of the festival each year. The food stand also offers first courses such as bigoli and gnocchi (with ragù, tomato sauce, or duck sauce) and mixed grills with sausages and ribs.
Games, Music, and Dancing
In addition to good food, Polegge in Festa offers games, music, and dancing, in a atmosphere of cheerfulness and sharing typical of neighbourhood festivals. It is a simple and cherished event in the summer calendar of Vicenza, in the Veneto region.
