Porcini mushrooms, music, and tradition in the San Michele district
The San Michele district, in Bassano del Grappa (province of Vicenza), celebrates its patron saint, Saint Michael the Archangel (September 29th), every year with the traditional Sagra dei Funghi (Mushroom Festival). For a few days, the community comes alive with cultural, sporting, musical, and gastronomic events.
The heart of the festival is the food stand, where you can enjoy dishes made with seasonal porcini mushrooms โ first courses, main courses, and side dishes โ alongside other local specialities. The mycological exhibition and weekend photography competitions and exhibitions provide the backdrop.
Evenings are accompanied by live bands and moments of conviviality, with areas dedicated to families and children. It is an authentic neighbourhood festival, organised by the San Michele neighbourhood committee, which intertwines devotion to the patron saint with local culture and the good food of the Vicenza foothills.
In 2026, the San Michele district will once again celebrate its patron saint at the end of September with the Sagra dei Funghi (Mushroom Festival).
