Saint Anthony of Padua Patronal Feast

The patronal feast of Cascinette d'Ivrea

The Saint Anthony of Padua Patronal Feast is the most anticipated event in the calendar of Cascinette d'Ivrea, a small town in the Metropolitan City of Turin, nestled in the heart of the Canavese area just steps from Lake Sirio. Saint Anthony of Padua, celebrated on June 13th, is the town's patron saint and the namesake of the parish church, built between 1764 and 1770 and established as a parish seat in 1819.

Faith and community

The festival weaves together religious devotion and popular celebration. The spiritual highlight is the solemn mass at the Saint Anthony of Padua church, which draws the parish community of the Diocese of Ivrea. Alongside liturgical celebrations, the local Pro Loco and the S. Antonio Festival Committee organize a rich program of events open to everyone, designed to engage families, residents, and visitors from the surrounding areas.

Flavors and conviviality

Gastronomy is a hallmark of the patronal feast. Over the years, the program has featured the famous grilled specialties accompanied by live music and dance orchestras, the traditional Saint Anthony lunch showcasing local dishes (by reservation), as well as bar services and stalls set up in the town center. It is a wonderful opportunity to savor Canavese cuisine in a festive and friendly atmosphere.

Entertainment and tradition

The festival does not forget the little ones: bouncy castles, giant soap bubbles, balloon sculpting, and face painting bring the family-oriented days to life. There are also moments dedicated to local traditions and passions, such as displays of vintage and racing cars and games organized by local associations.

A Canavese village in celebration

Attending the Saint Anthony Patronal Feast means discovering the authentic hospitality of a Canavese village, where religious and popular traditions are passed down from generation to generation. Between the tranquility of Lake Sirio and its proximity to the city of Ivrea, Cascinette offers a genuine, simple experience during its patronal feast, deeply rooted in the identity of the Piedmontese community.
