Sagra di Enna - Festa Patronale di San Giovanni Battista

The festival of the hamlet of Enna

The Sagra di Enna is the patron saint's festival of San Giovanni Battista, celebrated in the hamlet of Enna, part of Torrebelvicino, in the province of Vicenza. It takes place around June 24th, the feast day of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist, and is one of the most characteristic events of summer in Val Leogra: a mountain festival, nestled among woods and hamlets, with a panorama opening onto the entire valley.

Between faith and celebration

The religious heart of the event is the solemn mass in honor of the patron saint, accompanied during the festival days by community gatherings. Around the church, the food stand offers traditional Vicenza dishes, while the evenings are enlivened by music and dancing. There is also a charity raffle, which has always been a part of village festivals in the Vicenza area.

Walks and views

The location of the hamlet of Enna, above Torrebelvicino, makes the festival an ideal occasion for walks through the hamlets of Val Leogra, discovering paths, chapels, and views of Alto Vicentino. Past editions have also included an exhibition of sacred vestments, highlighting the festival's connection to the religious history of the place.

A community festival

Organized by the parish community with the support of Pro Loco Torrebelvicino, the Sagra di Enna is an example of an identity festival for small mountain hamlets, where devotion to the patron saint becomes an opportunity for meeting, hospitality, and celebrating the local area.
