The end-of-August sagra in the hamlet of Maras
The Sagra dei Panoiot is the traditional festival of the hamlet of Maras, in the Municipality of Sospirolo (province of Belluno), linked to the feast day of Saint Bartholomew (August 24th). For a few days at the end of August, the small community transforms into a lively stage for games, food, and music, organized by the Saint Bartholomew Committee.
The food stand, open in the evening from 7 PM, mainly offers a fish menu โ from lasagna with shrimp and zucchini to mixed fried fish โ alongside local traditional dishes, with evenings of entertainment and music. The program alternates different activities: evenings with DJs and live music, a guided walk on the trails of the Sospirolese Pedemontana (in collaboration with the Mountain Study Centre and walking groups), and the "Il Panoiot in Vespa" event with the Vespa Club Belluno.
The sagra is not just a celebration: some initiatives, like the evening walk dedicated to the memory of the Great War in the hamlet of Maras, intertwine conviviality with the rediscovery of local history. It is a fine example of how the sagre in the hamlets of Valbelluna manage to combine gastronomy, nature, memory, and social interaction, also valuing the smaller villages in the territory of Sospirolo.
In 2026, the hamlet of Maras in Sospirolo will again host its Sagra dei Panoiot, linked to the feast of Saint Bartholomew. The established format includes the food stand with a fish menu (open evenings from 7 PM), musical evenings with DJs and live bands, a guided walk on the trails of the Sospirolese Pedemontana, and the "Il Panoiot in Vespa" event. The exact date (around August 24th) will be confirmed by the Saint Bartholomew Committee closer to the event.
Detailed program coming soon: it will be announced by the Saint Bartholomew Committee of Maras in the weeks before the sagra. The established format includes six days of celebration with: a fish-based food stand (lasagna with shrimp and zucchini, mixed fried fish) open evenings from 7 PM; musical evenings with DJs and live music; a guided walk on the trails of the Sospirolese Pedemontana (in collaboration with the Mountain Study Centre); the "Il Panoiot in Vespa" event with the Vespa Club Belluno; and initiatives dedicated to the memory of the Great War.
The fish menu, the guided walk on the Sospirolese Pedemontana, and the "Il Panoiot in Vespa" gathering.

The stand is open in the evening from 7 PM during the sagra days. Free entry to the festival area; food and drinks are paid. Comfortable shoes are recommended for the guided walks.
