Sagra di San Giacomo

The patron saint of Sedrina

The Sagra di San Giacomo is the patronal festival of Sedrina, a municipality at the entrance to the Val Brembana in the province of Bergamo. It is dedicated to Saint James the Great Apostle, celebrated on July 25th, and represents the most important event in the religious and civil calendar of the town, attracting residents and visitors every year.

A week of festivities at the oratory

The festival unfolds over a week of celebrations, with the town's oratory as the heart of the event. Between religious services, food stalls, music, and social gatherings, the festival offers a rich and varied program, designed to involve all generations of the community.

The Church of San Giacomo

The connection with the patron saint is also evident in Sedrina's artistic heritage: the Church of San Giacomo, built in the 15th century by the Brembana architect Mauro Codussi, is one of the town's most significant monuments. The festival is also an opportunity to rediscover this gem and the historical roots of the community.
