About San Barto Party

Every year, around the feast of the patron saint Saint Bartholomew, Bagnaria livens up its summer with the San Barto Party. At the Municipal Sports Field, the Pro Loco organises an evening that combines dinner, live music, and a DJ set: it starts at the table with a fixed menu of traditional dishes and continues with dancing until late at night. It is a community event, designed for residents and visitors to come together in one of the most characteristic villages of the 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 the Valle Staffora in the Province of Pavia, on the occasion of the feast of the patron saint Saint Bartholomew, celebrated on August 24th. Organised by the Pro Loco of Bagnaria, it is an evening designed for getting together and spending time together, with good food and music.

Dinner and dancing night

The event is held at the Municipal Sports Field and begins in the evening with a fixed-menu dinner featuring traditional dishes: mixed starters with typical cured meats and cheeses, a first course such as 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 socialising that links the village 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.

San Barto Party — edition 2026
