Sagra di Novagli e Palio degli Asini
The San Lorenzo festival and the historic challenge between the districts
About Sagra di Novagli
The San Lorenzo festival in Novagli
The Sagra di Novagli is the village festival of the Novagli hamlet in Montichiari, in the Province of Brescia, linked to the feast of San Lorenzo. For about ten days at the beginning of August, the hamlet comes alive with a great popular festival that attracts residents and visitors from all over the area.
The Palio degli Asini
The heart of the festival is the famous Palio degli Asini, the historic and hard-fought challenge between the four districts of Novagli: Sera, Mattina, Campagna, and Trivellini. A fun and exciting competition that puts the pride of the districts at stake and which every year draws a large crowd along the route, in an atmosphere of healthy local rivalry and fun.
Food, music, and solidarity
Throughout the festival, food stalls are open, while the evenings are enlivened by DJs and show orchestras. There are also inflatable games for the little ones. The event also has a charitable purpose: the entire proceeds are donated to the local parish of San Lorenzo, confirming the strong link between the festival and the community of Novagli.
