The 'Sagra dei Frati' of San Giacomo di Monselice, between the Cloister, Venetian cuisine, and the Pardon of Assisi
The Sagra del Perdon d'Assisi, popularly known as 'Sagra dei Frati', is the festival that animates the hamlet of San Giacomo di Monselice, on the Euganean Hills in the province of Padua, between July and August. It takes place in the scenic setting of the Cloister of San Giacomo, in Via San Giacomo 17.
The heart of the festival is the food stall, open in the evening from 7:30 PM, with fish specialties (paella is one of the most anticipated events, upon reservation). There is also a charity raffle, bouncy castles for the little ones, and various musical evenings. Part of the proceeds are donated to the Valnogaredo Family Home, which assists families and children in need.
The festival retains its religious dimension with the solemn Mass of the Pardon of Assisi, celebrated on August 2nd, and moments of prayer linked to the Franciscan indulgence. An event that intertwines faith, conviviality, and social commitment within the fabric of Euganean festivals.
The 2026 edition of the Sagra del Perdon d'Assisi is expected, as tradition dictates, between late July and early August in the Cloister of San Giacomo in Monselice. The festival offers an evening food stall, festive moments, and the solemn Mass of the Pardon of Assisi on August 2nd; detailed dates are communicated by the parish of San Giacomo.
The detailed program and dates for the 2026 edition will be announced by the parish of San Giacomo and on sagriamo.it in the weeks prior. The established structure includes:
The hamlet of San Giacomo is located in Monselice; the Cloister of San Giacomo is at Via San Giacomo 17. By train: Monselice station (Bologna-Padua line). By car: A13 Monselice exit.
