About St. John's Feast
The patron saint's feast day in Thiene
Every June, Thiene (province of Vicenza) comes together to celebrate its patron saint, Saint John the Baptist, on June 24th. The Fair and Patronal Feast is a deeply rooted tradition, blending religious observance with popular celebration and civic festivity.
Funfair, food, and shows
Throughout the festival period, the city hosts the traditional funfair, set up between the Bosco dei Preti area and Villa Fabris, with rides and attractions for families. There's also the parish food stall, alongside shows and entertainment that liven up the evenings.
The climax on June 24th
On the patron saint's day, June 24th, the most solemn moment arrives: the Mass in the Cathedral honors Saint John the Baptist, followed by a concert and the fireworks display that concludes the festival. The event is promoted by the Parish of Thiene Cathedral, with the patronage of the Municipality, and represents an identity-defining event for the entire Thiene community.
