Gnocchi in seven toppings and the CorrinConca race at Conca
Every year, between late July and early August, the hamlet of Conca in Thiene (province of Vicenza) gathers around the Sagra di San Gaetano, the parish festival of the community of Maria Ausiliatrice alla Conca. The proceeds go to the parish's charitable activities.
The festival opens in mid-July with aperitifs at the Conchiosco, then gets into full swing with the evening food stand. The absolute specialty is gnocchi in seven toppings, alongside grilled meats, vegetarian options, and an evening of Tyrolean menu with canederli, würstel, pork knuckle, and special beer. Music and dancing accompany the evenings.
The sporting heart of the festival is the CorrinConca, a non-competitive 8 km race that attracts runners from all over the Vicenza area. The start is in the evening from the parish church of Maria Ausiliatrice, with registrations possible on the day itself. Between a five-a-side football tournament, food stands, a rich lottery, and community gatherings, the Sagra di San Gaetano is one of the most cherished summer events in the Conca hamlet.
For 2026, the Sagra di San Gaetano is expected, as every year, between late July and early August, at the Parish of Maria Ausiliatrice in Conca di Thiene. Following the trend of recent editions, aperitifs at the Conchiosco open the festival in mid-July, followed by the evening food stand.
The specialties are confirmed — gnocchi in seven toppings, grilled meats, vegetarian options, and a Tyrolean menu evening — along with the CorrinConca, an 8 km non-competitive race, and the five-a-side football tournament. The precise dates and program for the 2026 edition will be communicated by the parish (concaweb.it).
The dates and detailed program for the 2026 edition will be announced by the parish.
