The early August festival in the hamlet of Vighizzolo d'Este
The Sagra della Madonna della Neve is the summer event of the hamlet of Vighizzolo d'Este, in the municipality of Santa Caterina d'Este, in the province of Padua. It takes place in early August, around the feast day of Our Lady of the Snows (August 5th), and is organized by the Comitato Festeggiamenti Vighizzolo d'Este (Vighizzolo d'Este Celebration Committee).
The heart of the festival is the food stand with traditional Venetian cuisine, accompanied by evenings of live music and a dance floor. For the little ones, there is entertainment, inflatables, and street artist performances, while the photographic exhibition and charity raffle are also not to be missed.
Among the most anticipated moments is the finale with fireworks, which light up the Vighizzolo sky to close the festival. The Sagra della Madonna della Neve is one of the many village festivals that liven up the summer in the Bassa Padovana region, an occasion for the community of the hamlet and neighboring towns to gather.
The Sagra della Madonna della Neve 2026 is eagerly awaited, as tradition dictates, in early August in the hamlet of Vighizzolo d'Este. The food stand with Venetian cuisine, evenings with musical groups and dancing, entertainment and inflatables for children, street artists, the photographic exhibition, the charity raffle, and the grand finale with fireworks will all return.
The exact dates and evening schedule for 2026 will be announced by the Comitato Festeggiamenti Vighizzolo d'Este on their Facebook page in the weeks prior. The usual structure, documented in recent editions (5 days in early August), includes a food stand with Venetian cuisine, musical evenings and dancing, entertainment and inflatables, street artists, a photographic exhibition, a charity raffle, and a fireworks finale.
