Saint Anne Festival of Dorno

The patronal feast of Dorno

The Saint Anne Festival is the patronal feast of Dorno, a municipality in the Lomellina region, in the province of Pavia, dedicated to Saint Anne, celebrated on July 26th. Organized by the Municipality together with the Pro Loco of Dorno and numerous local entities—from Civil Protection to the Confraternita della Porchetta, from the parishes to the Gruppo Alpini—it is the most cherished summer event in the town, capable of animating the squares for several evenings.

Music, gastronomy, and funfair

Every evening, the festival offers music and good food at the stands set up in the center, in a festive atmosphere that attracts residents and visitors from neighboring towns. The funfair, an attraction loved by children and families, is located in Piazza Aldo Moro, while a charity stand operates at the church of San Rocco in the evenings. Tradition and solidarity thus coexist in the heart of the festival.

A community festival in Lomellina

More than just a simple festival, the Saint Anne festival is an identity event for Dorno and for Lomellina, a land of rice paddies and ancient traditions. The Pro Loco, which also organizes the renowned Pumpkin Festival linked to the De.C.O. «Bertagnina» product, carefully curates each edition, involving the town's associations. Amidst local flavors, music, and entertainment, the Saint Anne Festival renews the community's bond with its roots every summer.
