Edition 2025 — Rigoso Saint Mary Festival

On August 15, 2025, the Feast of the Assumption, Rigoso celebrated its traditional Saint Mary Festival. In the highest village of the Parma Apennines, the Ferragosto festival brought together residents and vacationers in the square with fried cake for lunch, evening polenta, craft stalls, and the usual dance party with live music, in an atmosphere of authentic and familiar village celebration.

The 2025 edition

In 2025, the Saint Mary Festival once again enlivened Rigoso, a hamlet of Monchio delle Corti (Province of Parma), on the Feast of the Assumption. True to tradition, the festival offered excellent fried cake with local cured meats for lunch and, in the evening, the grand polenta with sausage sauce, mushroom, or gorgonzola sauce.

Craft stalls and the dance party in the square, with music and dancing until late at night, completed a day that has been the most anticipated event of the summer for generations for the community of the highest village in the Parma Apennines.
