About Saint Vincent Festival
The Thiene Fish Festival
Every September, the San Vincenzo district of Thiene (province of Vicenza) hosts its local festival, also known as the Fish Festival. A special event for the Alto Vicentino area, an inland region that for a few days brings the flavors of the Adriatic Sea to the table.
Fish from Chioggia and Sottomarina
The festival's unique feature is its collaboration with the Pro Loco of Chioggia and Sottomarina: their expert chefs prepare the fish specialties at the food stand in Piazza Giubileo, featuring appetizers, first courses, and main courses from the lagoon tradition. A delicious opportunity that has built the festival's reputation well beyond the district's borders over the years.
A Festival for the Whole Community
Alongside the food, the festival offers music, tombola, a used book market, art exhibitions, and children's entertainment. Organized by volunteers from the parish of San Vincenzo with the patronage of the Municipality of Thiene, it is a celebration that combines community and conviviality, marking the beginning of the city's autumn.
