Saint Vigilius Festival / Segra de Sen Vile

The patronal festival of Moena

The Saint Vigilius Festival, known in the Ladin language as Segra de Sen Vile, is the patronal feast of Moena, a charming village in the Val di Fassa, located in the province of Trento and in the heart of the Trentino-Alto Adige region. It is celebrated every year on June 26th, the day dedicated to Saint Vigilius, the patron saint of the town and the entire Province of Trento, whose figure also names the parish church that dominates the historic center.

A deeply felt tradition

The Segra de Sen Vile is one of the most cherished occasions for the Moena community. The day weaves together devotion, Ladin identity, and community spirit: the festival is not just a religious moment, but a collective celebration of an entire town that identifies with its roots. The Mass celebrated in the Ladin language testifies to the cultural importance of the linguistic minority of the Val di Fassa, while the participation of civil authorities, rescue services, cultural groups, and volunteer associations highlights the social fabric of the village.

How the day unfolds

The festival begins at dawn with the traditional "Sveglia Moena" (Moena Wake-up Call): the Municipal Band and local associations parade through the streets of the historic center in a cheerful musical re-enactment. This is followed by the solemn Mass in Ladin in honor of Saint Vigilius, attended by authorities and traditional groups. The day continues with band concerts, the opening of the marquee serving traditional Trentino cuisine, and a rich entertainment program that lasts until the evening.
