Sagra di San Barnaba a Laghi

The patron saint's festival in the smallest village in Veneto

The Sagra di San Barnaba is the patron saint's festival in Laghi, a municipality in Alto Astico in the province of Vicenza and the least populous in Veneto, nestled in the picturesque Val di Ferro. Although Saint Barnabas is celebrated on June 11th, the festival is traditionally held in July, when the mountains offer the ideal climate for enjoying the festive days outdoors.

Between tournaments, music, and walks

The program combines moments of games and conviviality: the Briscola Ciacolona, the "4 against 4" football tournament in the square, live music evenings, and traditional games. The heart of Sunday is the Marcia del Ciclamino, a non-competitive walk with multiple routes through the municipality's woods, a classic much loved by trekking enthusiasts. There is also a fireworks display to close the festival.

A community festival

Organized by Pro Loco Laghi with the support of the municipal administration, the festival offers a food stand with traditional dishes from Vicenza and Alto Astico. It's an opportunity to discover an authentic corner of mountain Veneto and the hospitality of a small community that, despite its small size, knows how to liven up its patron saint's festival with great warmth.
