Rosary Festival of Martellago

The great festival of Martellago

In Martellago, a municipality in the Venetian hinterland in the province of Venice, the Rosary Festival is the event that closes the summer and opens autumn: the most heartfelt and attended event of the entire village calendar. Organized by the Parish of Martellago, it enlivens the heart of the town for about two weeks with a proven formula that combines devotion, gastronomy, music, and fun for all ages.

Food stand, concerts, and funfair

The center of the festival is the parish sports field in Via Friuli, where the heated food stand with traditional Venetian dishes opens every evening. Alongside the food, there are shows and concerts every evening, a charity raffle, tombola, and, on the final weekend, the funfair and fireworks that mark the end of the event.

The market and the town celebrating

On the central weekend, the festival extends beyond the sports field to Piazza Vittoria, where the market is held, with Via Castellana made pedestrian for the occasion. This is when the whole town comes together: families, young people, and visitors from neighboring towns fill the streets, among stalls, the aromas of food, and the typical atmosphere of the great festivals of Veneto.
