About Sagra di Madonna dei Prati

In the Madonna dei Prati area, in Brendola (province of Vicenza), the Sagra della Madonna del Carmine accompanies summer with evenings of music, dancing, and gastronomy. The unmistakable specialty of the festival are the hand-peeled potatoes, fried on the spot, alongside first courses of pasta and gnocchi with ragù. Featuring a food stand, charity lottery, and youth Olympics, it's a community festival that takes place every July around the feast of Madonna del Carmine.

The Madonna dei Prati Festival

The Sagra della Madonna del Carmine, also known as Sagra di Madonna dei Prati, is the summer festival of the locality of the same name in Brendola, a municipality in the Berici Hills in the province of Vicenza.
