San Giovanni Battista Patronal Festival in Campiglione Fenile
The Campiglione patronal festival, blending devotion, music, and tradition in the Pellice Valley
About San Giovanni Battista Festival
The Campiglione Fenile Patronal Festival
The San Giovanni Battista Patronal Festival is the most anticipated event of the year for Campiglione Fenile, a small town of just over 1,300 residents nestled in the Pellice Valley, within the Metropolitan City of Turin, in Piedmont. San Giovanni Battista is the patron saint of the main town (the parish of Campiglione is dedicated to him), and his feast day falls on June 24th; around this date, the Pro Loco Campiglione Fenile organizes a large secular celebration that spans five days in late June.
An authentic village festival
This is a village festival in the truest sense of the word: no pharaonic stages, just plenty of participation, conviviality, and tradition. The heart of the event is the town's sports facilities, which for a few evenings transform into the community's main gathering point. The program varies from year to year and always features free admission:
- Music and dance evenings with ballroom orchestras and live bands;
- Dinners and gastronomic events hosted by the Pro Loco and local volunteers;
- Bouncy castles and entertainment for children;
- Motorcycle rallies and sporting events, which have always been among the most vibrant aspects of the festival;
- Spaces to socialize among families, friends, and guests from neighboring towns.
Devotion and community
Alongside the festivities, the event retains its religious dimension: the parish of San Giovanni Battista, in the Diocese of Pinerolo, celebrates the patron saint with traditional services. The festival thus becomes an occasion for the entire town—founded in 1928 through the merger of the two ancient municipalities of Campiglione and Fenile—to reconnect with its roots.
A corner of the Pellice Valley
Visiting Campiglione Fenile during the patronal festival is also a way to discover a quiet, off-the-beaten-path corner of the Pinerolo area, about forty kilometers from Turin, set among the hills and orchards of the plains at the foot of the Cottian Alps. An ideal destination for those seeking the authentic atmosphere of Piedmontese village festivals, far from the major tourist circuits.
