The Ferragosto festival in the Fabbrega district, Isola Vicentina
In August, Isola Vicentina, a municipality in the upper Vicenza area, experiences a succession of popular festivals spread across its various districts and hamlets. The Sagra dell'Assunta, held in Via Fabbrega, is the one that takes place right around Ferragosto, in honour of the Assumption of Mary into heaven, a deeply felt occasion in Venetian Catholic tradition.
The festival unfolds over two evenings, with a food stand offering Venetian cuisine and the unmissable music for dancing and socialising. It is a district festival in the truest sense of the word: organised by the COASI Association of Isola Vicentina, which manages the traditional village festivals throughout August, and admission is completely free.
The Sagra dell'Assunta is part of a busy calendar: in the same month, the Sagra di San Lorenzo in Castelnovo, the Sagra di San Rocco, and the Sagra di Santa Maria del Cengio are held. A way to discover, hamlet by hamlet, the most popular soul of this corner of Veneto.
In 2026, the Fabbrega district will once again celebrate the Assumption of Mary with its Ferragosto festival, scheduled for around August 14-15. Two evenings with a food stand and music, following the tradition of the Isola festivals organised every August by the COASI Association.
The detailed programme for the 2026 edition will be published by the Municipality of Isola Vicentina and the COASI Association in the weeks preceding the festival. The event traditionally spans two evenings with the opening of the food stand and live music for dancing.
Food stand with traditional Venetian dishes and a dancing evening in honour of the Assumption of Mary.
