Chiarano's patronal feast at the end of August
About Saint Bartholomew Festival
Chiarano's Patronal Feast
The Saint Bartholomew Festival is the patronal feast of Chiarano, a town in the plains of the province of Treviso, in eastern Veneto. It is dedicated to Saint Bartholomew the Apostle, celebrated on August 24th, and takes place around that date, extending for about two weeks between mid and late August.
Venetian Cuisine and Dancing Nights
The heart of the festival is the large food stand, open every evening from 6:30 PM with "succulent traditional dishes" from Veneto. The evenings continue with dancing, enlivened by ballroom orchestras, and DJ nights, in a festive atmosphere that involves the entire town and neighboring communities.
Skating, Market, and Tradition
Alongside gastronomy and music, the festival features performances of artistic skating, a craft market, and exhibitions, in a program that intertwines entertainment, popular tradition, and community moments. The festival is organized by the local committee together with the Pro Loco of Chiarano.
A Festival of Eastern Veneto
The Saint Bartholomew Festival is an authentic example of Venetian patronal feasts, where the religious commemoration blends with the conviviality of late summer. An opportunity to discover the cuisine and popular traditions of the Treviso area away from mass tourist circuits.
