About Saint Bartholomew Festival

At the end of August, Agugliaro comes alive with the Sagra di San Bortolo, the feast of Saint Bartholomew that has drawn people from all over the Basso Vicentino for generations. Several days of music, entertainment, and fun around the large gastronomic stand of the Pro Loco, where Vicentine tradition is savored among gnocchi, bigoli, grilled meats, fried fish, and the unmissable baccalà alla vicentina. A genuine village festival, in the heart of the province of Vicenza.

The Feast of Saint Bartholomew

The Saint Bartholomew Festival is the end-of-summer festival of Agugliaro, a municipality in the Basso Vicentino area of the province of Vicenza. The name recalls Saint Bartholomew ("San Bortolo" in the Venetian dialect), celebrated on August 24th, around whom a village festival is centered that lasts for several days straddling the last week of August.

Vicentine Gastronomy Takes Center Stage

The heart of the festival is the large gastronomic stand managed by the Pro Loco of Agugliaro, where you can taste traditional dishes: gnocchi, bigoli, grilled meats, fried fish, and the famous baccalà alla vicentina, one of the symbols of the local cuisine. The evening setting offers live music, dancing, and entertainment for all ages.

A Community Tradition

The Saint Bartholomew Festival is an event rooted in the life of the village, the result of the work of Pro Loco volunteers. For Agugliaro, it represents the ultimate summer celebration, an occasion for residents and former villagers to gather, and a showcase of Vicenza's gastronomic traditions.

Saint Bartholomew Festival — edition 2026
