About San Barto Party

Every year, around the feast day of the patron saint Bartholomew, Bagnaria livens up its summer with the San Barto Party. At the Municipal Sports Field, the Pro Loco organizes an evening that combines dinner, live music, and a DJ set: it starts with a fixed-price menu of traditional dishes and continues with dancing until late at night. It's a community event, designed for residents and visitors to gather in one of the most characteristic villages of Valle Staffora, in the Alto Oltrepò Pavese.

The patron saint's summer festival

The San Barto Party is the festival that every year enlivens the summer of Bagnaria, a village in Valle Staffora in the Province of Pavia, on the occasion of the feast of the patron saint Saint Bartholomew, celebrated on August 24th. Organized by the Pro Loco of Bagnaria, it's an evening designed for gathering and spending time together, with good food and music.

Dinner and dancing night

The event takes place at the Municipal Sports Field and begins in the evening with a fixed-price dinner featuring traditional dishes: mixed appetizers with typical cured meats and cheeses, a first course like homemade ravioli with braised meat, a second course of roast beef with a side dish, and homemade cakes. After dinner, the party continues with a DJ set for dancing until late at night.

A community event

More than just an event, the San Barto Party is a moment of sociality that connects the town to its religious and popular tradition. Its informal and convivial formula makes it an opportunity to discover Bagnaria's hospitality and the summer atmosphere of the villages in the Alto Oltrepò Pavese, in Lombardy.
