Saint Joseph Festival and Flower Festival
The patronal feast of Cassola with flowers, crafts, good food, and live music
About Saint Joseph Festival
March in bloom in Cassola
In the hamlet of San Giuseppe di Cassola, in the province of Vicenza, the arrival of spring is marked by one of the most cherished local festivals: the Saint Joseph Festival, combined with the Flower Festival, which in 2026 reaches its 40th edition. For two weekends in March, around the liturgical feast of the Patron Saint, the town transforms into a large open-air market fragrant with flowers.
The flower market exhibition
The heart of the event is the Flower Festival: along Viale San Giuseppe and the side streets, stalls of florists, nursery gardeners, artisans, and food and wine exhibitors are set up. The official inauguration is entrusted to the San Marco Band of Cassola, which opens the festival with a parade along the avenue. Alongside the flowers, there is space for the Book Fair, children's readings in the library, and entertainment shows.
Tradition, food, and music
The religious dimension remains central, with the Holy Mass of the Patron Saint celebrated on March 19th, Saint Joseph's Day. The gastronomic stand at the Palatenda offers themed evenings – from the Bavarian dinner of the St. JosephFest to the traditional cod dinner – up to the Community Spring Lunch on the closing Sunday. Live concerts and DJ sets at the Youth Area complete a program that intertwines faith, gastronomy, and social life, organized by the Pro Loco Cassola.
