About Sagra di San Nazario

In the hamlet of San Nazario, along the Brenta river in the municipality of Valbrenta (Vicenza), the Sagra Paesana in honor of the patron saints Nazarius and Celsus returns every July. Two weekends of celebration with a food stand, meat and fish specialties, bigoli, tripe, and hearty sandwiches, live music evenings from 8:30 PM, tombola (bingo), and the unmissable laser show with special effects that concludes the sagra. A simple and warm folk tradition, marked by the solemn mass dedicated to the two martyrs.

A village festival on the banks of the Brenta

The Sagra Paesana di San Nazario is the summer festival of the hamlet of San Nazario, now part of the scattered municipality of Valbrenta, in the province of Vicenza. It takes place every year in July, spread over two weekends, and celebrates Saints Nazarius and Celsus, patrons of the community, remembered with a solemn mass.

Venetian Gastronomy

The heart of the event is the food stand, which opens every evening from 7:00 PM and offers specialties of the Venetian tradition: grilled meat and fish, the famous bigoli, tripe on Sunday mornings, hearty sandwiches, French fries, and beer. It's the genuine cuisine of the Vicenza sagre, prepared by the volunteers of the Pro Loco.

Music and Laser Show

Each evening is enlivened by live music starting from 8:30 PM, with bands and groups taking turns on stage. There is also tombola (bingo) and, as the grand finale of the festival, a laser show with special effects that illuminates the valley. An event that combines devotion, conviviality, and fun for the entire Valbrenta community.
