About Saonara di Note

In mid-August, Saonara celebrates the Assumption with "Saonara di Note", what the organisers ironically call the most original beer festival of the summer: the perfect remedy against heat, rain, mosquitoes, and stress. A food stand, a sandwich bar with live music, ballroom dancing, free Latin and Caribbean evenings, a funfair, a charity raffle, and a book market liven up the patronal festival in the Padua region for several evenings.

Saonara di Note, the Festival of the Assumption

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.

Food and music for all tastes

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.

Funfair and tradition

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.

The heart of Saonara's summer

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.
