Sagra di Ferragosto a Castelvecchio
The Ferragosto festival in the hilly hamlet of Valdagno
About Sagra di Castelvecchio
A village festival on the hills of Valdagno
The Sagra di Ferragosto a Castelvecchio is one of the most cherished summer events in the hamlet of Castelvecchio, above Valdagno, in the Agno valley, province of Vicenza. For over a week, around August 15th, the small hilly village comes alive every evening with its food stall, becoming a meeting point for the inhabitants of the contrade (districts) and for those seeking an authentic festival away from the most crowded places.
The food stall
The heart of the festival is the kitchen, open every evening from 6 PM, with lunch also served on Sundays and on Ferragosto Friday. The menu combines Venetian tradition with some more international specialties:
- homemade first courses;
- meat grills and steaks;
- Vicenza-style cod and goulash;
- sandwiches and fried items;
- draft beers and cocktails;
- krapfen and fritole to end on a sweet note.
Music and dancing under the stars
Each evening is accompanied by live music and dancing: from African sounds to country music, to Latin American music that gets everyone on the dance floor. It's a family-friendly festival, where the atmosphere remains that of the convivial contrada festivals of Veneto.
Organization
The event is curated by the volunteer group Castelvecchio Eventi, which keeps this Ferragosto tradition alive every year with the support of the hamlet's community.
