Sagra di Sant'Anna
Five evenings of cuisine, music, and tradition in the heart of the Vicenza foothills
About Sagra di Sant'Anna
The Sant'Anna Festival in Salcedo
In the heart of the Vicenza foothills, amidst the hills rising towards the Altopiano dei Sette Comuni, the small municipality of Salcedo (province of Vicenza) celebrates its Sagra di Sant'Anna every year at the end of July. It's one of those village festivals where the entire community comes together: the Pro Loco Salcedo, with the patronage of the Municipality, sets up the festival area for five consecutive evenings of gastronomy, live music, and socialising.
Traditional Cuisine
The heart of the sagra is the food stand, open every evening. The great classics of Venetian cuisine are served: tagliatelle, bigoli, and gnocchi with ragù or tomato sauce, grilled meat with ribs and sausages, French fries, and the unmissable codfish with polenta, a symbolic dish of the Vicenza area. A simple and abundant offering, designed for families and groups of friends.
Music, Exhibitions, and Shows
Each evening is enlivened by ballroom orchestras and musical groups that get the crowds dancing, while the historic painting exhibition accompanies the festival throughout its duration. There is also entertainment for the little ones, a charity raffle, and, to close the event, the drawing of the prize subscription and the fireworks display that lights up the Salcedo sky. A program that combines entertainment and fundraising to support the activities of the Pro Loco and the local community.
Sagra di Sant'Anna — edition 2026
The historic Sagra di Sant'Anna returns to Salcedo from July 22 to 26, 2026 with five days of festivities.

Accompanying the dinners, live music, painting exhibition, performances, tournaments, charity raffle, and lottery. The event concludes with the fireworks display. Free admission.
