About Saint George Festival
The Patron Saint of La Ramera
The Saint George Festival is the patronal feast of the La Ramera district, in Ponteranica, a municipality on the outskirts of Bergamo. It is celebrated between late April and the first few days of May at the Oratory of La Ramera and takes its name from the church of Saint George the Martyr, on Via delle Roveri, around which the religious moments of the feast revolve.
Faith and Community Celebration
The festivities open with Mass and procession on Saint George's Day, followed by several evenings of celebration. The convivial heart is the indoor self-service restaurant, accompanied by a bar, fries, fritters, and the wheel of fortune. There are also moments dedicated to kindergarten families, Mass for wedding anniversaries, tombola, and an artisan market.
A Festival of Solidarity
The Saint George Festival also has a strong solidarity dimension: the proceeds are mainly intended for parish work, support for the parish kindergarten, and the work of some missionaries linked to the community. An event that, in Ponteranica, in the province of Bergamo, combines religious tradition, conviviality, and commitment to the local area.
