About Saint James Festival

The Festival of Saint James the Apostle is the parish feast of the hamlet of Vigorovea, in Sant'Angelo di Piove di Sacco (PD). In July, on the days around the patron saint's day, the square behind the church comes alive with six evenings of celebration: a food stand, a show area, music, dancing, and inflatable games for children. A typical village festival of the Saccisica region, in the heart of the Padan plain.

The Vigorovea Festival

The Festival of Saint James the Apostle is the summer event of the hamlet of Vigorovea, in Sant'Angelo di Piove di Sacco, in the province of Padua. Organized by the Parish of Saint James the Apostle, it takes place in July on the days around the patron saint's feast day.

Six Evenings of Celebration

The festival offers a series of evenings — usually six — that liven up the square behind the parish church. The food stand, the show area with music and dancing, and the inflatable games for children make the festival a gathering moment for the entire community, a "daily sign" of village life as defined by the diocesan press.

A Tradition of the Saccisica

The Festival of Saint James is one of the many patronal feasts that mark the summer in the Saccisica, the area of the Padan plain around Piove di Sacco. A simple and genuine festival, deeply connected to the parish and the life of the hamlet of Vigorovea.
