Saint Louis Festival – Sona
The historic parish festival of the capital, for over 200 years
About Saint Louis Festival in Sona
Over two hundred years of tradition
The Saint Louis Festival is the historic parish festival of the capital of Sona, in the province of Verona, a tradition passed down for over two hundred years. It is dedicated to Saint Louis Gonzaga, patron saint of young people, and is rooted in the history of the parish and the community.
Themed evenings of food and music
For about six evenings in September, the center of Sona transforms into a large festival area, with food stands offering complete menus and a packed entertainment program. The evenings are often themed — from Tyrolean cuisine to Latin American dancing, from afro nights to musical tributes — with shows, entertainment for children, cultural events, and theater in the park of Villa Romani.
The community's celebration
The festival culminates with a solemn mass and the grand fireworks display that concludes the festivities. Organized by the parish community of Sona with the support of Pro Loco Sona and numerous volunteers and associations, the Saint Louis Festival is an identity event for the capital, where the religious and popular dimensions merge into a celebration that spans generations.
