Saint Peter's Festival
The patronal feast of Maerne between faith, barbecue, and music
About Saint Peter's in Maerne
The Patron's Feast
In Maerne di Martellago, in the province of Venice, the patronal feast is dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul, celebrated on June 29th. The Festa di San Pietro is the time when the community gathers around its church and Piazzale IV Novembre, the heart of the town, for days of conviviality that intertwine the religious and popular dimensions.
Faith and Tradition
The solemn moment is the Mass animated by the parish choir, but the feast truly comes alive in the evening when the food stand opens. Grilled meat, sandwiches, and traditional Venetian dishes attract families and young people, while music accompanies the evenings under the summer sky.
A Feast of Volunteering
Organized by the Parish of Maerne with the support of local volunteers and sponsors, the Festa di San Pietro is an annual event that renews and tells the story of the deep bond between the community, its parish, and the traditions of the Venetian mainland.
