The summer festival of the San Gaetano contrada in the Brenta Canal
The Sagra di San Gaetano is held in the Contrà San Gaetano of Valstagna, a hamlet of the municipality of Valbrenta, in the province of Vicenza, at the beginning of August. It is the summer festival of one of the contrade that characterise the slopes of the Brenta Canal, an anticipated event that draws the valley's inhabitants and holidaymakers.
The heart of the festival is the food stall, open every evening from 7:30 PM. The menu features traditional specialities: mixed grills with ribs and sausage, first courses with bigoli and gnocchi with ragù or tomato sauce, and vicentina-style cod with polenta, a symbolic dish of the region.
The evenings are enlivened by live music with orchestras and DJ sets, concerts, a charity raffle, and popular games. Entry is free: a community festival that combines good food, dancing, and socialising in the evocative setting of the Brenta Canal.
The Sagra di San Gaetano 2026 will return in early August to the Contrà San Gaetano of Valstagna (Valbrenta, VI). The precise dates and the full music program will be announced by the contrada community in the weeks preceding the event.
The tried-and-tested formula remains confirmed: food stall every evening from 7:30 PM with mixed grills, bigoli pasta, gnocchi, and vicentina-style cod, music nights with orchestras and DJ sets, concerts, a charity raffle, and popular games.
