Sagra di San Martino

Saint Martin, Patron Saint of Pianiga

The Sagra di San Martino is the patron saint festival of Pianiga, a town in the Riviera del Brenta in the province of Venice. It is held every November around the feast day of Saint Martin (November 11th), one of the most beloved figures in Venetian popular tradition, and blends the religious dimension of the saint's celebration with the convivial and gastronomic spirit of a village sagra.

Markets, Tractors, and Zero-Km Products

The heart of the festival are the markets in Piazza San Martino, with stalls offering artisanal products, local delicacies, and gift ideas. Alongside the food stands and street food, the sagra features the market for zero-km products and the captivating tractor exhibition by Coldiretti, a highly anticipated event that draws enthusiasts and families. Art exhibitions, music, and activities designed for children complete the program.

A Community Festival

Organized by the Associazione San Martino together with the Parish of San Martino Vescovo and with the patronage of the Municipality of Pianiga, the sagra is the event that closes the season of village festivals and accompanies the community towards winter, blending culinary tradition and a convivial spirit.
