Sagra Patronale di San Bartolomeo

The festival of Sordio's patron saint

The Sagra Patronale di San Bartolomeo is the most anticipated event of the year in Sordio, a small municipality in the province of Lodi, in the Bassa Lombarda region. Although Saint Bartholomew is celebrated liturgically on August 24th, the town's festival takes place in September, extending the summer with four evenings of celebration at the sports center on Via Berlinguer.

Four evenings of music and dancing

The heart of the event is the dancing evenings with live orchestras, a deeply cherished tradition in the towns of the Lodi region. From Friday to Monday, the sports center transforms into a large open-air dance floor, where liscio (traditional Italian ballroom dance) and popular music provide the soundtrack to a celebration that involves all generations.

Gastronomy and conviviality

Accompanying the music are the Pro Loco's food stands, offering traditional Lombard dishes and specialties that make every village festival an occasion for meeting and good food. The festival is a time for Sordio to come together, with residents and visitors from neighboring towns, in an atmosphere of joy and community.

A tradition of the Bassa Lombarda

Organized by Pro Loco Sordio, the San Bartolomeo festival renews annually the tradition of patron saint festivals in the Lodi plain, where popular devotion and dance celebrations have intertwined for generations. A simple and authentic event that showcases the convivial spirit of a small village in the province of Lodi.
