About Sant'Imerio

In June, Offlaga, a municipality in the Bassa Bresciana region, celebrates its patron saint Sant'Imerio with a festival lasting several days and attracting thousands of people. Traditions, dancing, casoncelli, spiedo bresciano (Brescia-style spit-roast), and lots of music liven up the grounds of the San Giovanni Bosco oratory over two weekends of celebration. Organized by the Gruppo Sant'Imerio together with the parish, it is one of the most attended festivals in the plains between Brescia and the Bassa, managing to combine devotion, gastronomy, and entertainment.

The patron saint of Offlaga

The Sagra di Sant'Imerio is the great patronal festival of Offlaga, a municipality in the province of Brescia in the heart of the Bassa region. Dedicated to Sant'Imerio, the town's patron saint, the festival is now a well-established tradition of over twenty years, attracting thousands of people from all over the Bresciana plain each year.

Two weekends of celebration

The event takes place over several days, spanning two weekends in June, in the outdoor spaces of the San Giovanni Bosco oratory. Among the food stalls, the dishes of the Bresciana tradition reign supreme: casoncelli, spiedo, and local specialties are the stars of evenings accompanied by orchestras, ballroom dancing, and entertainment for adults and children.

Devotion and community

Alongside the convivial aspect, the festival retains its religious roots, with celebrations in honour of Sant'Imerio. Organized by the Gruppo Sant'Imerio together with the parish and local associations, the festival is the time when Offlaga comes together around its traditions: an event that intertwines faith, good food, and music, a symbol of the identity of the Bassa Bresciana.
