The sagra (festival) of the hamlet of Grumolo Pedemonte, kingdom of polenta and musso
The Sagra dei Santi Patroni is the village festival of the hamlet of Grumolo Pedemonte, in the municipality of Zugliano (province of Vicenza). It is a sagra with a long tradition, having surpassed 38 editions, organized by the Comitato Sagra Grumolo Pedemonte and linked to the feast of the hamlet's Patron Saints.
The specialty that makes it famous is polenta e musso, donkey stew served with polenta, a typical dish of Vicenza's peasant cuisine and the absolute star of the food stand. Around the tables, evenings of live music and dancing take place, alongside religious moments linked to the patron saints.
It is an authentic and identity-affirming festival, which every summer draws the inhabitants of the hamlet and visitors from nearby towns, united by the pleasure of good food and conviviality.
The Sagra dei Santi Patroni di Grumolo Pedemonte 2026, expected as the 39th edition, will take place in July in the hamlet of Grumolo Pedemonte in Zugliano (VI). After the 38th edition in 2025 (July 18-22), the festival returns with its established format: a food stand with the specialty polenta e musso, evenings of live music and dancing, and moments of religious tradition linked to the hamlet's patron saints. The exact dates will be announced by the Comitato Sagra Grumolo Pedemonte closer to the event.
