About Festa della Torta
The patronal festival of Montodine
The Sagra di Santa Maria Maddalena is the patronal festival of Montodine, a municipality in the Cremonese plain in the Province of Cremona, along the Serio river. The anniversary, linked to the patron saint on July 22nd, is one of the most heartfelt moments of the year for the local community, combining a religious dimension with a grand village festival.
The sweet Festa della Torta
The highlight of the festival is the Festa della Torta (Cake Festival), which gives the entire event its popular name. The stars are the traditional cakes and desserts, offered for tasting: a delicious opportunity that celebrates homemade baking and local flavours, in an event eagerly awaited by young and old.
Music, dancing, and conviviality
The evenings of the festival are enlivened by music and dancing, in a festive atmosphere that brings together the inhabitants and visitors from neighbouring towns. The event traditionally takes place from the first Sunday after July 22nd until the following Tuesday, marking the Montodine summer with devotion, good food, and cheerfulness.
