Venetian fish cuisine in the heart of the Pedemontana
The Sagra del Pesce - Festa del Carmine is the most anticipated summer event in Maragnole, a hamlet of Breganze in the province of Vicenza. A unique festival for a plain town: the protagonist is indeed Venetian fish cuisine, brought here thanks to the twinning with Pellestrina, a fishing community in the Venice lagoon.
The food stand, in Piazza Mons. Camillo Faresin, offers specialties of the lagoon tradition: sardine in saor, cuttlefish, mixed fried fish, seafood spaghetti, and many other fish dishes. A menu that brings the scents and flavors of the Adriatic to the hills of the Pedemontana.
Now around its 25th edition, the festival is organized by Pro Loco Maragnole and accompanied by musical evenings and festive moments, during the period of the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. An event that has successfully built an ideal bridge between Maragnole and Pellestrina, between land and sea.
The 2026 edition of the Sagra del Pesce - Festa del Carmine is scheduled for July in Maragnole, a hamlet of Breganze. The Pro Loco Maragnole confirms the formula with Venetian fish cuisine as the protagonist, resulting from the twinning with Pellestrina. Precise dates will be announced on the official website.
The program and dates for the 2026 edition will be published on the official website maragnolesagradelpesce.it in the weeks preceding the festival. The usual structure includes evenings with a food stand dedicated to traditional Venetian fish - sardine in saor, cuttlefish, mixed fried fish, seafood spaghetti - accompanied by music and entertainment, during the period of the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.
Maragnole is a hamlet of Breganze, in the Vicenza Pedemontana between Bassano del Grappa and Thiene. By car, it can be reached from the SP111. The festival takes place in Piazza Mons. Camillo Faresin.
Free admission. Food stand requires payment. Info: [email protected].
