About Saint Joseph's Festival

At the end of May, the Saint Joseph Parish in Piovene Rocchette, at the foot of the Asiago Plateau in the province of Vicenza, livens up its marquee on Via Monte Cengio with the Saint Joseph's Festival: a food stand open every evening, dancing nights, a charity raffle, and a photographic exhibition dedicated to the mountains. A community festival with free admission, featuring good Venetian cuisine and conviviality.

The Parish Festival

The Saint Joseph's Festival is one of the most cherished events of spring in Piovene Rocchette, a town in the Alto Vicentino region at the gateway to the Sette Comuni Plateau. Organized by the Saint Joseph Parish, it takes place under the large marquee at Via Monte Cengio 25 and spans two weekends at the end of May.

Venetian Cuisine and Festive Moments

The heart of the festival is the food stand, open every evening from 7:00 PM, offering local traditional specialties. The evenings are accompanied by dancing nights, a charity raffle, and a photographic exhibition dedicated to the mountains. It's one of those village festivals that, in the province of Vicenza, brings together the parish and the entire community in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.
