The Festival of San Giovanni in Longa

The Sagra degli Avannotti is the traditional festival of the hamlet of Longa di Schiavon, a municipality in the Vicenza plain in the province of Vicenza. It takes place in June, on the occasion of the feast of San Giovanni Battista (June 24th), and takes its curious name from the avannotti, small freshwater fish, testifying to the area's connection with the plain's waterways.

What awaits you

  • Aperitifs with company at the opening of the evenings
