Saint Lawrence Festival
Ten days of celebration in the hamlet of San Lorenzo di Parabiago
About Saint Lawrence Festival
A historic festival in Alto Milanese
The Saint Lawrence Festival is one of the longest-running and most beloved festivals in Alto Milanese: it takes place in the hamlet of San Lorenzo in Parabiago, in the province of Milan, and boasts over fifty years of history. For about ten days, between early and mid-September, the hamlet transforms into a large celebration space that attracts visitors from all over the surrounding area.
Run, Dance, Dine
The festival traditionally opens with the Cur...Sagra, a non-competitive footrace with 5 km and 10 km routes and an 800-meter baby race for the little ones. The evenings continue with live music, bands and orchestras, group dances, and community events, such as wedding anniversary celebrations and inter-neighborhood football tournaments. The kitchen serves typical festival dishes and rotating specialties every evening, from Mexican beans to seafood pasta, with reservations via QR code for dining in or take-away.
Middle Ages, Vintage, and Fireworks
Among the most anticipated moments are the medieval day, with flag-wavers, jugglers, musicians, and fire-eaters animating the hamlet, and the vintage market. There are also exhibitions of vintage Vespas with elegance contests, magic shows, and fireworks that light up both weekends of the festival.
A festival made by volunteers
Behind the Saint Lawrence Festival is the work of about 120 volunteers who, starting in January, prepare every detail of the event. It is this community spirit that makes the festival an authentic event, capable of uniting different generations and passing on the identity of the hamlet and Parabiago.
Saint Lawrence Festival — edition 2026
For 2026, the Saint Lawrence Festival returns in early September to the hamlet of San Lorenzo di Parabiago, with the usual ten-day celebration formula. It starts with the Cur...Sagra footrace (5 km, 10 km, and 800 m for kids), continues with live music every evening, the medieval day with flag-wavers and fire-eaters, the vintage market, vintage Vespa exhibitions, and fireworks. The food stand, managed by about 120 volunteers, offers typical dishes and rotating evening specialties. The precise dates will be confirmed by the organizers, following the 2025 model (September 5-15).
