About Sagra di San Giovanni Battista

For a few days, Piazza Umberto I comes alive with food stalls, themed evenings, the Mercatiamo market, and the Giochiamo insieme toy exchange, in a community celebration that combines religious tradition, good food, and fun for all ages.

The Patron Saint's Festival

The Sagra di San Giovanni Battista is the patronal festival of San Giovanni Lupatoto, a municipality in the Veronese hinterland that owes its name to the saint. The event, linked to the feast day of Saint John the Baptist on June 24th, transforms Piazza Umberto I into the vibrant heart of the community for a few days of celebration.

Food and Activities for Everyone

The program combines food stalls with traditional dishes, themed evenings at the Marzadro stand, and a series of initiatives designed for families and children, such as the Mercatiamo market and the Giochiamo insieme toy exchange. The square thus becomes a meeting point that blends conviviality, tradition, and fun.
