About Sagra dell'Assunta
The Feast of the Assumption in Fossaragna
The Sagra dell'Assunta is the patronal festival of Fossaragna, a hamlet in the municipality of Bovolenta in the low plains of the province of Padua. Linked to the devotion to Saint Mary of the Assumption, celebrated on August 15th, it is one of the most cherished events of the local Ferragosto, bringing the parish community together around tradition and conviviality.
Flavors and Evenings of Celebration
The heart of the sagra is the food stand, which offers traditional Venetian dishes with its most beloved specialties: grilled chicken and arrosticini. The evenings are enlivened by music and dancing with regional orchestras, while a charity raffle accompanies the festival in support of the community.
The Day of the Assumption
The most solemn moment is August 15th, the day of the Assumption, with the solemn mass and the procession in honor of the patron saint. Between faith, music, and gastronomy, the Sagra dell'Assunta tells the village spirit of Fossaragna in the heart of the Paduan summer.
