Flavours, celebration, and community in the heart of Mandriola di Albignasego
The Sagra di Mandriola is the summer event that makes the heart of the small hamlet of Mandriola, in the Municipality of Albignasego, in the province of Padua, beat faster. For almost two weeks, the parish centre in Via Guglielmo Marconi transforms into a large meeting point, where different generations come together around the tables of the food stand, children's games, and evening music.
The heart of the festival is the food stand, which opens in the evening with traditional Venetian dishes. There is also a cart with artisan ice cream, an aperitif corner, sandwiches, and piadine. For the little ones, there are bouncy castles and plenty of entertainment, while every evening the lottery with a grand prize draw attracts young and old around the stage.
The event is promoted and managed by the Parish of Mandriola thanks to the work of many volunteers. Over the years, the festival has offered a convenient online pre-order service via a dedicated portal to reduce waiting times at the tables. The motto that accompanies it, "Flavours, celebration, community", well summarises the spirit of an event that, while remaining a village-sized occasion, is one of the most cherished moments of the summer in Albignasego and the Paduan area.
The Sagra di Mandriola 2026 returns to liven up the hamlet of Albignasego from June 10th to 21st, with twelve consecutive evenings of celebration. The date, originally set in autumn, has been moved to the beginning of summer. The tried-and-tested formula is confirmed: evening food stand with traditional Venetian dishes, artisan ice cream cart, bouncy castles and entertainment for children, musical evenings, and aperitifs. Every evening features the eagerly awaited draw of the rich lottery.
The Sagra di Mandriola 2026 takes place from June 10th to 21st for twelve consecutive evenings. The typical structure of the days includes:
The detailed evening programme (themed evenings and musical guests) will be published on the official poster and on the parish's channels closer to the event. Meal pre-orders available online on the dedicated portal.
