The patronal festival of Nervesa and the renowned Festival of Mushrooms and Chicken
The Sagra di San Girolamo is the patronal festival of Nervesa della Battaglia, a municipality in the province of Treviso overlooking the Piave River and at the foot of Montello. Now in its 237th edition, it is one of the longest-running events in the Veneto region, and for decades it has been combined with the Festival of Mushrooms and Chicken, which has become its gastronomic hallmark.
The heart of the festival is the food: the specialty is chicken marinated for 24 hours in two special brines and served with mushrooms, alongside the famous ox cheeks. The food stands, managed by volunteers from the Pro Loco of Nervesa della Battaglia, attract thousands of gourmets from the Treviso area and beyond every year.
The program is rich and varied: dancing evenings with orchestras, the historic Bird Fair, the dog show, the market exhibition, and guided excursions to the Great War sites of Montello and along the Piave River. A blend of popular tradition, faith, and fun for all ages.
Supported by about a hundred volunteers and the municipal administration, the Sagra di San Girolamo is the main autumn event in Nervesa della Battaglia. For visitors to the Treviso area, it is the ideal opportunity to discover the authenticity of a Veneto made of sagre, typical products, and landscapes between hills and river.
The 2026 edition of the Sagra di San Girolamo (237th) and the Festival of Mushrooms and Chicken (47th) returns to Nervesa della Battaglia (TV) at the end of September, around the patron saint's feast day on September 30th.
The Pro Loco of Nervesa della Battaglia is bringing back the event's historic format, supported by about a hundred volunteers. The precise dates and detailed program will be announced by the Pro Loco in the weeks leading up to the event.
The usual structure of the festival includes several days of celebration with: food stands (chicken marinated for 24 hours with mushrooms, ox cheeks), dancing evenings with orchestras, the Bird Fair, the dog show, a market exhibition, and guided excursions on the Montello hills and along the Piave River. The detailed schedule for the 2026 edition will be published by the Pro Loco of Nervesa della Battaglia.
