About Sagra di Santa Libera
The patronal festival of Malo
The Sagra di Malo - Festa di Santa Libera is the main popular festival of Malo, a municipality in Alto Vicentino in the province of Vicenza. Dedicated to Santa Libera, it is traditionally held at the beginning of September in the Pascoletto area, the large green space near the municipal swimming pools.
Quail spit-roast, the specialty
The signature dish of the sagra is the quail spit-roast, served with rich polenta, alongside grilled quail legs and a wide selection of cicheti, in true Venetian style. The food stand also offers grilled meats and other local specialties, accompanied by local wines.
Music and popular atmosphere
The evenings are enlivened by live music: in the 2025 edition, for example, Furio of Pitura Freska took the stage. The sagra maintains a genuine and popular atmosphere, made up of shared tables, toasts, and fun, making it one of the most cherished events in the Malo calendar.
A community event
Organized by the ProMalo association with the involvement of the parish, the sagra is a moment of strong identity for the town. It takes place over the weekend at the beginning of September and symbolically closes the summer season in Alto Vicentino.
Sagra di Santa Libera — edition 2026
