Sagra Paesana di San Pietro

San Pietro, the patron saint of the Valle del Chiampo

The Sagra Paesana di San Pietro is the most cherished festival in San Pietro Mussolino, a municipality nestled in the Valle del Chiampo, in the province of Vicenza. The event celebrates the patron saint, Saint Peter the Apostle, whose feast day is June 29th, and it's a time when the entire community comes together to share tradition, gastronomy, and fun.

Trout takes centre stage on the table

The heart of the festival is the food stand, where the signature dish is local valley trout, farmed in the clear waters of the region and prepared according to traditional local recipes. Live music evenings and events that liven up the town revolve around the culinary offerings, culminating in the traditional fireworks display that lights up the valley sky and beautifully concludes the celebrations.

A festival rooted in the territory

The Sagra Paesana di San Pietro is part of a calendar of events that marks the year in San Pietro Mussolino, including the evocative Processione del Gallo (Rooster Procession) on the last Sunday of May and the Sentiero delle Api (Path of the Bees), an event dedicated to the world of beekeeping. Together, they tell the story of the identity of a small community in the province of Vicenza that proudly preserves its traditions.
