The "most original beer festival of the summer" in Saonara
The Sagra dell'Assunta, known as Saonara di Note, is the big mid-summer festival in Saonara (province of Padua). Linked to the mid-August Assumption holiday, the event presents itself with an ironic and original identity: it calls itself "the most original beer festival of the summer", a declared remedy against heat, rain, mosquitoes, and stress.
The programme alternates between the food stand with traditional dishes and a sandwich bar accompanied by live music. The evenings range from ballroom dancing to free entry Latin and Caribbean evenings, offering entertainment for all ages and musical styles.
The classic elements of a Veneto sagra are not missing: the funfair for the little ones, the charity raffle, and the book market. The festival thus combines a popular and convivial dimension with a touch of lightness that makes it recognisable in the panorama of Padua's sagre.
Saonara di Note is the event that brings together the community of Saonara and visitors from neighbouring towns during the Ferragosto period, confirming itself as one of the most popular summer festivals in the Padua hinterland.
The Sagra dell'Assunta - Saonara di Note will also take place in 2026 in mid-August, coinciding with the Assumption holiday. The event will reprise its ironic and varied formula: food stand, sandwich bar with live music, ballroom dancing, free entry Latin and Caribbean evenings, funfair, charity raffle, and book market.
In 2025, the festival was held from August 12th to 18th. The precise dates and the 2026 programme will be communicated by the organisers on the official channels closer to the event.
