Sagra di San Luigi

The festival of the hamlet of Villa

The Sagra di San Luigi is the festival that enlivens the hamlet of Villa in Serle, a municipality on the plateau in the province of Brescia, every summer. Dedicated to Saint Louis, it is organized by the parish and the local committee together with the Pro Loco of Serle, and it represents one of those events that keep the identity of small mountain communities alive.

The spit-roast and local cuisine

The heart of the festival is the food, with the De.Co. spit-roast of Serle as the star, a dish of Brescian tradition recognized as a Municipal Denomination. The food and wine stalls offer typical local flavours, accompanied by the inevitable lotteries with prize draws. Reservations for the spit-roast are appreciated, given the large turnout.

Music, games, and conviviality

The evenings are enlivened by ballroom dancing and live music, while games and moments of entertainment involve both adults and children. The festival, with opening hours from 6:30 PM to midnight on Saturday and all day Sunday, is an occasion for the community of Serle and visitors who come up to the plateau to enjoy the spit-roast and soak up the authentic atmosphere of a Brescian village festival.
