The feast of Saints Nazarius and Celsus in the heart of Valbrenta
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.
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.
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.
The Sagra Paesana di San Nazario 2026 will return in July to the hamlet of Valbrenta, spread as usual over two weekends. The detailed program, with precise dates and guest musical groups, will be published by the Pro Loco in the weeks preceding the event.
The usual ingredients remain confirmed: the solemn mass dedicated to the patron saints Nazarius and Celsus, the food stand open every evening from 7:00 PM with meat, fish, and bigoli, live music from 8:30 PM, tombola, and the laser show finale.
The detailed program for the 2026 edition, including dates and musical groups, will be announced by the Pro Loco in the weeks before the sagra.
