About Bucatini alla Lughese Festival

The Saint John the Baptist Festival is the great patronal feast of Lugo di Vicenza, which every June transforms the Multipurpose Platform in Viale Divisione Julia into a long event of music, sport, and gastronomy. The signature dish is the one that gives the festival its name: bucatini alla lughese, egg pasta with meat ragù, butter, and mixed Altopiano mushrooms, recognized as a De.Co. product of the municipality.
