The mid-August festival in Via San Rocco
The Sagra di San Rocco (Festival of Saint Roch) takes place in Via San Rocco in Isola Vicentina, a municipality in the upper Vicenza area, in the province of Vicenza, on the days immediately following Ferragosto, in honour of the pilgrim saint so venerated in Venetian popular tradition as a protector from epidemics.
The festival spans two evenings with a food stand and music, in a village festival atmosphere that draws residents from the neighbourhood and nearby districts. It is organized by the COASI Association of Isola Vicentina, which manages the traditional town festivals throughout August, and admission is free.
San Rocco is one of the events in a packed summer calendar that in Isola Vicentina also includes the festivals of the Assumption, San Lorenzo in Castelnovo, and Santa Maria del Cengio: an entire month of scattered celebrations that tell the most genuine soul of this corner of Veneto.
In 2026 too, the San Rocco neighbourhood will celebrate its patron saint with the usual mid-August festival, scheduled for around August 15-16. Two evenings with a food stand and music, in line with the traditional Isola Vicentina festivals managed by the COASI Association.
The detailed program for the 2026 edition will be announced by the COASI Association and the Municipality of Isola Vicentina closer to the festival. The celebration traditionally spans two evenings with a food stand and live music.
Food stand with traditional Venetian dishes and a dancing evening in honour of San Rocco.
