Sagra Novembrina di Vescovato
The autumn festival of San Leonardo, between culture, history, and gastronomy
About Sagra Novembrina
The Festival of San Leonardo in Vescovato
The Sagra Novembrina is the autumn festival of Vescovato, a municipality in the province of Cremona, linked to the feast day of the patron saint San Leonardo (November 6th). Organized by the Pro Loco of Vescovato, it spans four days, from Thursday to Sunday, and combines the religious dimension with a rich and varied program.
Culture, History, and Gastronomy
The festival offers cultural moments – such as book presentations and dialect comedy – alongside entertainment and culinary initiatives: the evening aperitif, evenings with a DJ, the vintage car and motorcycle exhibition, the market in the square, the miniature train for a tour of the town, and fairground rides for the little ones. A schedule designed for all ages.
The "Vescovatino dell'anno" Award
Among the most heartfelt moments is the awarding of the "Vescovatino dell'anno" prize, with which the community recognizes those who have distinguished themselves in service and commitment to the town. The Sagra Novembrina is thus, at the same time, a popular festival, a cultural event, and an occasion for collective identity in the heart of the province of Cremona.
