About San Rocco Festivals
San Rocco, the mid-August festival in Ghedi
The San Rocco Festivals are a traditional event in Ghedi (Province of Brescia), linked to the figure of San Rocco, invoked as a protector against epidemics. The festival takes place in mid-August around the Sanctuary of San Rocco, along Viale della Rimembranza, and combines the religious dimension with the convivial atmosphere of a large village festival.
Flavours, entertainment, and tradition
Organized by the Pro Loco of Ghedi, the event offers a rich and varied program:
- Food stalls with Brescian specialties: casoncelli, tagliata, pane e salamina;
- Exhibitors and stalls;
- Bouncy castles and entertainment for children;
- Guided tours of the Sanctuary of San Rocco;
- Mixed-breed dog race and other initiatives.
A festival in the heart of summer
The San Rocco Festivals represent one of the most anticipated moments of the summer for Ghedi, when the community gathers around the Sanctuary for days of celebration, faith, gastronomy, and fun. The presence of typical dishes such as 'pane e salamina' and 'casoncelli' makes the event an opportunity to rediscover the traditional flavours of the Brescian plain.
