Bagnaria's summer festival in honor of Saint Bartholomew
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.
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.
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.
For the 2026 edition, the Pro Loco of Bagnaria renews its summer event linked to the patron saint Saint Bartholomew. At the Municipal Sports Field, the evening with a fixed-price dinner of traditional dishes will return, followed by music and a DJ set for dancing. The precise date and program details will be announced by the Pro Loco in the weeks preceding the event, around August 24th.
