The patronal festival of Pianezze, with gnocchi, codfish, and fireworks
The Sagra di San Lorenzo is the patronal festival of Pianezze, a small municipality in the province of Vicenza. It is celebrated in early August, around the 10th, the day of San Lorenzo, the town's patron saint, and represents the most cherished summer event for the community, organized by the Pro Loco San Lorenzo Pianezze.
The heart of the festival is the food stand, which offers typical dishes of Vicenza cuisine: gnocchi, grilled meats, codfish with polenta, fried dishes, and local wine. A menu that, night after night, attracts residents and visitors from neighboring towns, in a festive and convivial atmosphere.
The program is full of entertainment: live music, concerts, group dances, sports activities, and tournaments liven up the festival evenings, which traditionally conclude with a fireworks display. A complete celebration, capable of engaging all generations.
Pianezze is located in a hilly position in the Vicenza area, a region with an agricultural and wine-making tradition. The Sagra di San Lorenzo is the ideal opportunity to discover the authenticity of a Venetian village festival, far from the major tourist flows, amidst genuine flavors and hospitality.
The 2026 edition of the Sagra di San Lorenzo is expected in early August in Pianezze, on the occasion of the patron saint's festival. The festival will again feature the food stand with gnocchi, codfish with polenta, grilled meats, fried dishes, and local wine, accompanied by a rich musical program, group dances, sports tournaments, and the traditional fireworks. Detailed dates and program are published by the Pro Loco San Lorenzo Pianezze shortly before the event.
The detailed 2026 program will be announced by the Pro Loco shortly before the event. The festival traditionally follows this structure around August 10th:
