About Saint Gaetan Festival
Calaone celebrates Saint Gaetan
The Saint Gaetan Festival takes place in Calaone, a charming hillside hamlet in the municipality of Baone, in the province of Padua, in the heart of the Euganean Hills. The festival, dedicated to Saint Gaetan, is held in Piazza Santa Giustina, in the shade of the village bell tower, and is organized by the Saint Gaetan Parish Circle.
Flavors of tradition
The heart of the festival is the food stand, open every evening with dishes from traditional Venetian cuisine: fettuccine, bigoli, penne with various sauces, steaks, sausages, ribs, pancetta, cod and dried fish, polenta, side dishes and homemade desserts, all accompanied by good wine and cold drinks. It is a table that tells the story of the peasant tradition of the Euganean Hills.
Music and conviviality
The evenings of the Saint Gaetan Festival are enlivened by live music and ballroom dancing evenings, in a village festival atmosphere that attracts the inhabitants of Calaone, Baone, and the surrounding villages. It is a genuine opportunity to experience the Euganean summer away from mass tourist circuits, amidst the hills, vineyards, and popular traditions of Veneto.
