A week of celebration for the patron saint of Palosco
About Sagra di San Lorenzo
The Patron Saint's Festival
The Sagra Patronale di San Lorenzo is the big summer event in Palosco, in the province of Bergamo, in the heart of the eastern Bergamo lowlands. In honor of the patron saint, celebrated on August 10th, the town comes alive for a week of festivities that transform Piazza Castello into the center of community life.
Food, Funfair, and Shows
The program intertwines religious tradition and popular celebration. The sagra's kitchen offers typical dishes of the Bergamascan tradition, while in Piazza Manzoni the funfair entertains young and old for the entire duration of the event. Between concerts, live shows, themed evenings, and the traditional greasy pole, each day offers moments of fun and togetherness.
Faith and Community
The religious heart of the sagra is the solemn mass with the procession in honor of San Lorenzo, the most heartfelt moment of the celebrations. The event traditionally concludes with the fireworks display, which lights up the sky of Palosco, bidding farewell to the end of the festival. An event that every year renews the sense of community and belonging of the inhabitants, uniting the spiritual dimension with that of conviviality and popular tradition.
