About Saint John's Festival

Every year, around the feast of Saint John at the end of June, Montebello Vicentino gathers at Piazzale del Donatore for one of the town's most cherished festivals. Four consecutive evenings marked by live music, dancing, and a generous food stand, with themed events ranging from country night to foam party, from 80s and 90s hits to traditional ballroom dancing with an orchestra. A classic of the Vicenza summer, perfect for families, young people, and fans of dance music.

The summer festival in Montebello Vicentino

The Saint John's Festival is one of the most anticipated events of the summer in Montebello Vicentino, in the province of Vicenza. It takes place at the Piazzale del Donatore and lasts for four consecutive evenings, usually around the third decade of June, coinciding with the feast of Saint John.

Music, dancing, and themed evenings

The heart of the festival is the large dance floor: each evening has its own character, from the country night with the local dance school, to the wild foam party with DJs, to evenings dedicated to the hits of the 80s and 90s and traditional ballroom dancing with an orchestra. There is also entertainment for all ages, in an informal and popular atmosphere.

The food stand

Alongside the music, the food stand offers traditional Venetian dishes and festival specialties, to be enjoyed at outdoor tables. It's the place to meet up with friends and families on warm summer evenings in the Vicenza area.

A village tradition

Organized by local associations with the support of the Pro Loco and the Municipality of Montebello Vicentino, the Saint John's Festival represents a moment of gathering that attracts visitors from neighboring towns in the Val d'Alpone and the Vicenza plain.

Saint John's Festival — edition 2026

The Saint John's Festival returns to Montebello Vicentino in June 2026 with the usual program of four evenings at Piazzale del Donatore, featuring music, dancing, themed nights, and a food stand. The dates and detailed program will be announced by the organizers in the weeks prior.

The 2026 edition of the Saint John's Festival is confirmed for June at the Piazzale del Donatore in Montebello Vicentino, reprising the successful formula of four evenings with live music, a dance floor, and festival cuisine. As tradition dictates, each evening will have a different theme (from country night to ballroom dancing with an orchestra).

Programme Saint John's Festival 2026

The detailed program for the 2026 edition will be published by the organizers closer to the event. Based on recent editions, the festival is structured over four themed evenings:

  • Country Night — country dancing evening with a dance school
  • Foam Party — evening with DJ and foam
  • 80s and 90s — disco hits from the two decades
  • Ballroom Dancing — evening with orchestra and traditional dancing

Food stand open every evening.
