The August festival in the hamlet of Cavazzana, between Polesine cuisine and devotion
The Sagra di San Lorenzo is the summer festival of the hamlet of Cavazzana, in the municipality of Lusia in the province of Rovigo. It is held in the first days of August until August 10th, the day of San Lorenzo, patron saint of the community. A tradition that has over half a century of history.
The heart of the festival is the food stand in Piazza I Maggio, managed by over 80 volunteers, which offers the great classics of Polesine cuisine: 'bigoli all'anatra', 'musso con polenta', and other specialties prepared with fresh ingredients and local recipes. Every evening the square comes alive with live music groups and DJ sets.
The religious moment culminates on August 10th with the mass, the procession, and the fireworks in honor of San Lorenzo. Among the festival's events is also the Mountain Bike Grand Prix, a cycling race that attracts enthusiasts from all over the Polesine region.
