About Sagra di San Martino

The Sagra di San Martino is the autumn festival of the Martarei district in Schio, in the Alto Vicentino area. Over a weekend in November, the chestnut is the star with the 'marronata' (chestnut roast), accompanied by mulled wine, hot chocolate, hot dogs, and cotton candy. Featuring a charity raffle, pancake-making workshops, and children's games, it's a genuine neighbourhood festival with free admission, designed for families.

Martarei's Autumn Festival

In the locality of Martarei, in Schio, in the province of Vicenza, the Sagra di San Martino marks the arrival of autumn with its most typical aromas: roasted chestnuts, mulled wine, and hot chocolate. It's a neighbourhood festival promoted by the Comitato San Martino (Saint Martin Committee), which draws families and local residents in a warm and friendly atmosphere.

The 'Marronata' and Autumn Flavours

The heart of the festival is the marronata, with steaming roasted chestnuts served, alongside mulled wine, hot chocolate, hot dogs, and cotton candy. The traditional charity raffle is also present, linking the festival to a dimension of solidarity.

A Festival for Families

The Sagra di San Martino is designed primarily for children: pancake-making workshops with sugar, themed games like 'pentolacce' (piñatas), and sweet moments with candies and marshmallows mark the days. It's a simple and heartfelt event that keeps alive the tradition of neighbourhood festivals in the Alto Vicentino area. Admission is free.
