SacroFest
The multidisciplinary festival of Schio between theatre, music, and current affairs
About SacroFest
A festival that turns Schio into a stage
SacroFest is now an eagerly awaited event in Schio, a town in the Alto Vicentino region, province of Vicenza. Born as a multidisciplinary review, it has grown to attract leading guests from investigative journalism, culture, and entertainment, while maintaining its popular spirit as a widespread and accessible festival for everyone.
Theatre, music, storytelling, and current affairs
The program blends different genres: civic monologues and committed theatre, auteur concerts, sports and biographical storytelling, and encounters with major guests. The evenings are split between the Teatro Civico, the venue for the opening night, and the Teatro Pasubio, which hosts the bulk of the events, usually starting at 9:00 PM.
Major guests and contemporary themes
Over the years, the festival has brought well-known voices from television and culture to Schio, pairing them with hot current topics: the Constitution, education, the role of information, migration, and the relationship between youth and desire. This is the essence of SacroFest: a place to reflect on big issues with a direct language, without sacrificing lightness.
Conviviality and local roots
What makes SacroFest a true celebration is the food stand, active every evening, which turns the events into moments of gathering for the entire community of Schio and the Alto Vicentino. The festival is promoted by the SacroFest association and takes place in late spring, between the end of May and the beginning of June.
SacroFest — edition 2026
The 2026 edition of SacroFest, the eleventh, takes place in Schio from May 27 to June 7. After the inauguration at the Teatro Civico, the festival moves to the Teatro Pasubio for twelve evenings alternating theatre, music, storytelling, and current affairs. Among the guests are journalist Luca Sommi, Report host Sigfrido Ranucci, and psychoanalyst Massimo Recalcati. Closing the program is the TeatroCarcere Due Palazzi project, uniting inmates and students.
