About Sagra di Novale

The Sagra di Novale is the traditional village festival of the Novale hamlet, in Valdagno, province of Vicenza. For two weekends in September, the Oratorio Don Bosco comes alive with the food stand, where gnocchi with fioretta and grilled meat reign supreme, and with a packed calendar of music, dancing, baby dance, games, charity fishing, walks, and cycling. A community event that draws families and visitors from all over the Valle dell'Agno.

The festival of the Novale hamlet

The Sagra di Novale is one of the most cherished village festivals in the Valdagno area, in the province of Vicenza. It takes place in the hamlet of Novale, at the Oratorio Don Bosco on Via Chiesa di Novale, and is organized by the Pastoral Unit of Santa Maria di Panisacco together with the oratory community.

Gnocchi with fioretta

The specialty that identifies the festival is gnocchi with fioretta, served with the typical fresh local ricotta, accompanied by grilled meat from the food stand. The dish is a piece of Vicenza's gastronomic tradition that is worth a visit on its own.

Music, games, and sports

Alongside the food, the festival offers a rich program spread over several days: music and dancing evenings, baby dance and games for children, charity fishing, as well as walks and cycling events that involve the village. It's a festival designed for all ages, from Sunday lunch to evenings under the marquee.
