Saint Augusta Celebrations
The centuries-old fair of Serravalle in honor of Saint Augusta, between faith, tradition, and the famous "foghi"
About Saint Augusta
The Serravalle Festival
The Saint Augusta Celebrations are the most beloved popular festival in Vittorio Veneto, in the province of Treviso, and take place in the historic village of Serravalle. The event celebrates Saint Augusta, patron saint of the village and second patron saint of the Vittorio Veneto diocese, whose sanctuary overlooks the town from the top of the hill. It is a "centuries-old fair" that blends religious devotion, popular tradition, and entertainment.
Six Days of Events
The program, spread over about six days in mid-August, offers a funfair, children's market, evening street food, shows, concerts in the various squares of the village, book presentations at the Cenedese Museum, and extraordinary evening openings of Palazzo Todesco. There are also liturgical celebrations in honor of the saint and guided tours on the legend of Saint Augusta.
The Parade and the "foghi"
The heart of the festival is the evening of August 21st, with the traditional Saint Augusta Parade, the Watermelon Party in Piazza Flaminio — featuring watermelon, sangria, cocktails, and music — and above all, the famous "foghi", the fireworks display (usually at midnight, postponed to the 22nd in case of bad weather) that lights up the Serravalle sky and attracts over 30,000 spectators. For the evening, the village becomes a pedestrian zone.
Saint Augusta — edition 2026
