Rosary Festival of Bagnoli di Sopra
The ancient festival and the Rosary Fair in the homeland of Friularo
About Rosary Festival
A historic festival of the Bassa Padovana
The Rosary Festival is one of the most deeply rooted celebrations in Bagnoli di Sopra, a town in the Bassa Padovana region of the province of Padova, famous for its Friularo DOCG. The event takes place annually between late September and early October and is particularly remembered for the ancient Rosary Fair, held on the first Monday of October.
The Rosary Fair
Once a livestock fair, today the Rosary Fair offers a wide market of various goods, agricultural tools, and garden plants, keeping a centuries-old tradition alive. The town streets fill with stalls and visitors, on a day that marks one of the highlights of autumn in the Padovano area.
Gastronomy and conviviality
The convivial heart of the festival is the Pro Loco di Bagnoli di Sopra's food stand, which offers local traditional dishes—from tripe to cod—accompanied by Friularo di Bagnoli DOCG, the town's symbolic wine. The Rosary Festival, organized by the Pro Loco in collaboration with local associations, is an authentic opportunity to discover the flavors and traditions of the Bassa Padovana.
