About San Lorenzo Festival
The patronal feast of Pianezze
The San Lorenzo Festival is the patronal feast of Pianezze, a small municipality in the province of Vicenza. It is celebrated in early August, around the 10th, the day of San Lorenzo, the patron saint of the town, and it is the most cherished summer event for the community, organized by the Pro Loco San Lorenzo Pianezze.
Flavors of the Vicenza tradition
The heart of the festival is the food stand, which offers typical dishes of Vicenza cuisine: gnocchi, grilled meats, codfish with polenta, fried dishes, and local wine. A menu that, evening after evening, attracts residents and visitors from neighboring towns, in a festive and convivial atmosphere.
Music, sports, and fireworks
The program is full of entertainment: live music, concerts, group dances, sports activities, and tournaments liven up the festival evenings, which traditionally conclude with a fireworks display. A complete celebration, capable of engaging all generations.
Pianezze, among the Berici Hills
Pianezze is located in a hilly position in the Vicenza area, in a region with a strong agricultural and wine-making tradition. The San Lorenzo Festival is the ideal opportunity to discover the authenticity of a Venetian village festival, far from the major tourist flows, with genuine flavors and hospitality.
