Saint Lawrence Festival
The mid-August patronal feast in Saletto di Borgo Veneto
About Saint Lawrence Festival
The patron saint's feast of Saletto
The Saint Lawrence Festival is the patronal feast of Saletto, a hamlet in the municipality of Borgo Veneto, in the lower plain in the province of Padua. Founded around the devotion to Saint Lawrence, celebrated on August 10th, it has been the summer event that brings the community together in mid-August for generations.
Five days of festival
The festival takes place over several days around August 10th. The heart of the event is the food stand, which opens in the evening with traditional Venetian dishes and fried fish specialties, accompanied by a dance floor with live music. There is also a children's area with games and inflatables, stalls with local crafts and curiosities, and a charity raffle to support the community.
The patron saint's day
On the day dedicated to Saint Lawrence, the community gathers for the solemn Holy Mass in the morning. The festival concludes with the lottery draw late in the evening and the classic fireworks, the most anticipated moment that lights up the hamlet's sky and seals days of tradition and conviviality.
