Sagra di San Michele Arcangelo a Candiana

The village's patronal festival

The Sagra di San Michele Arcangelo is the most important event of the year for Candiana (Padua), a small municipality in the Saccisica area famous for its splendid Renaissance church. The sagra celebrates San Michele Arcangelo, the patron saint of the village, whose liturgical feast day is on September 29th.

Several evenings of music, flavors, and community

The program unfolds over several evenings between late September and early October, featuring the gastronomic stand, dancing evenings, and concerts — from pop to afro music. An anticipated moment is the "Festival delle voci", the singing competition that awards performers of published and unpublished songs and young talents. There is also a charity raffle, exhibitions dedicated to faith and traditions, a vintage car rally, and walks to discover the local heritage.

A sagra between faith and history

Alongside the festive moments, the sagra retains its religious dimension, with celebrations in honor of the patron saint. Historical guided tours allow visitors to discover the church of San Michele Arcangelo and Candiana's artistic heritage, making the sagra an occasion that intertwines devotion, culture, and conviviality in the heart of the Paduan plain.
