Sagra di San Fermo

Pontevico's Summer

The Sagra di San Fermo is the summer event that draws thousands of people to Pontevico every August, a municipality in the Bassa bresciana region of the province of Brescia. Meticulously organized by the San Fermo district, it is a long-standing and deeply rooted event, capable of transforming the town into a grand celebration and meeting place for several days.

Brescian Cuisine Takes Centre Stage

The heart of the festival lies in its food stalls, offering traditional Brescian dishes accompanied by selected wines and beers. Good food is one of the main reasons for the event's success: genuine and abundant cuisine served in a convivial atmosphere that embodies the very essence of village festivals in Lombardy.

Music and Fireworks

Every evening, the celebration is brought to life by live music, with concerts and dance evenings that go on late. Making the evenings even more special are the fireworks displays, which light up the sky of the Bassa bresciana and provide moments of great wonder. It's a tried-and-tested combination that makes the Sagra di San Fermo a beloved event for families, young people, and visitors.

A District and Community Festival

Behind the organization is the passionate work of the San Fermo district, which mobilizes volunteers and energy each year to set up the festival. This popular and participatory character is what makes the event authentic and deeply connected to the identity of Pontevico. For those visiting the province of Brescia in August, the Sagra di San Fermo is a genuine opportunity to experience the conviviality and flavours of the Bassa region.
