The Assumption festival on the Mucchione hill, between Valdagno and Schio
The Sagra al Muciòn (Mucchione in Italian) takes place on Ferragosto on the panoramic Mucchione hill, overlooking the area between Valdagno and Schio, in the province of Vicenza. It is the traditional Assumption festival, linked to the little chapel of Mucchione, and is one of the most cherished summer events for the Valdagno community.
The event is organised by the Movimento Cristiano Lavoratori (Christian Workers' Movement) in collaboration with the pastoral units of Magrè and Monte Magrè and with the patronage of the Municipalities of Valdagno and Schio. The religious aspect is central: on the morning of the Assumption, Mass is celebrated, followed in the afternoon by a solemn Mass with procession.
The gastronomic stand opens at 6:30 PM, while the evenings come alive with live music, creative workshops for children, and traditional ballroom dancing with an orchestra. Amidst walks, outings, and conviviality, the Sagra al Muciòn is a simple and authentic folk festival, immersed in the green hills of Vicenza.
The Sagra al Muciòn 2026 will return on Ferragosto to the Mucchione hill, between Valdagno and Schio (VI), confirming the tradition of the Assumption festival at the Mucchione chapel.
The organisation remains entrusted to the Movimento Cristiano Lavoratori with the pastoral units of Magrè and Monte Magrè. The exact dates and the complete musical program for the 2026 edition will be published by the Municipality of Valdagno in the weeks preceding the festival.
