About Sagra di S. Maria Assunta
Valtellina's Ferragosto in Aprica
The Sagra di Santa Maria Assunta is the festival that enlivens Aprica, a well-known mountain resort in the province of Sondrio, every Ferragosto. With about twenty-five years of tradition, it takes place at the Campo Sportivo S. Maria and celebrates the patron saint, Mary Most Holy Assumption, in the heart of the Valtellina summer, combining devotion, gastronomy, and popular celebration.
Valtellina Cuisine, Music, and Fireworks
The heart of the sagra is its food and wine: you can enjoy excellent dishes from the Valtellina cuisine accompanied by the region's fine wines, all enhanced by live music. The most anticipated moment is the fireworks display which, starting at 11:00 PM, lights up the skies of Aprica. The festival kicks off on the afternoon of August 14th with entertainment for children, including baby dance and inflatables, and continues late into the night with dancing.
A Community Festival
The sagra is the result of collaboration between the Pro Loco (local tourism board), the Aprica Tourist Office, the Alpini Group, the Parish of Santa Maria Assunta, and numerous local organizations and volunteers. It is one of the most cherished events of the Aprica summer, attracting residents and tourists holidaying in Valtellina to experience the magic of Ferragosto together.
