About Saint Anthony's Festival

The Saint Anthony's Festival enlivens the hamlet of Sasso di Asiago, on the Seven Municipalities Plateau, for almost the entire month of June. Organized by the Pro Loco Sasso at the Palatenda of Parco Calà del Sasso, it combines the patronal feast with a long series of gastronomic evenings, live music, sports tournaments, motorcycle tours, and the evocative Historical Torchlight Procession of the Calà del Sasso, the stone staircase descending towards Valstagna.

The festival of a mountain hamlet

In Sasso di Asiago, a small hamlet of the municipality of Asiago on the Seven Municipalities Plateau, the Saint Anthony's Festival is the summer event. For several weeks in June, the Palatenda of Parco Calà del Sasso becomes the center of village life, with a food stand, music, and activities for all ages, organized by Pro Loco Sasso.

Flavors of the Plateau and evenings with friends

The food stand offers the dishes that have always accompanied these mountain festivals: horse steaks, mixed fried fish, "onti" sandwiches. The evenings alternate between ballroom dancing, rock bands, DJ sets, and events designed for younger audiences, in a calendar that covers multiple weekends.

The Calà del Sasso Torchlight Procession

Among the most characteristic moments is the Historical Torchlight Procession of Calà del Sasso, along the famous 4,444-step staircase connecting Sasso di Asiago to Valstagna in the Brenta Canal: one of the longest stone staircases in Europe. Sports tournaments and the Altopiano 7 Comuni Motorcycle Tour, in the province of Vicenza, also accompany the festival.
