About San Martino Festival

The Sagra di San Martino is the autumn festival of the Martarei locality, in Schio, in the Alto Vicentino area. For one weekend in November, the chestnut is the star with its roasted chestnuts, accompanied by mulled wine, hot chocolate, hot dogs, and cotton candy. Featuring a charity raffle, pancake-making workshops, and games for children, it's a genuine neighbourhood festival with free admission, designed for families.

Martarei's Autumn Festival

In the locality of Martarei, in Schio, in the province of Vicenza, the Sagra di San Martino marks the arrival of autumn with its most typical aromas: roasted chestnuts, mulled wine, and hot chocolate. It is a neighbourhood festival promoted by the San Martino Committee, which brings families and residents of the area together in a warm and familiar atmosphere.

The Chestnut Roast and Autumn Flavours

The heart of the festival is the marronata (roasted chestnuts), with steaming roasted chestnuts served, alongside mulled wine, hot chocolate, hot dogs, and cotton candy. The traditional charity raffle is also present, linking the festival to a charitable dimension.

A Festival for Families

The Sagra di San Martino is designed primarily for children: pancake-making workshops with sugar, themed games like piñatas, and sweet moments with candies and marshmallows mark the days. It is a simple and heartfelt event that keeps the tradition of neighbourhood festivals in the Alto Vicentino alive. Admission is free.
