The great patronal festival of Offlaga, in the Bassa Bresciana
The Sant'Imerio Festival is the great patronal festival of Offlaga, a municipality in the province of Brescia in the heart of the Bassa region. Dedicated to Saint Imerio, the town's patron saint, the festival has been a well-established tradition for over twenty years, attracting thousands of people from all over the Brescian plain each year.
The event takes place over several days, spanning two weekends in June, in the outdoor spaces of the San Giovanni Bosco oratory. Among the food stalls, the dishes of the Brescian tradition triumph: casoncelli, spit roast, and local specialties are the stars of evenings accompanied by orchestras, ballroom dancing, and entertainment for adults and children.
Alongside the convivial aspect, the festival retains its religious roots, with celebrations in honor of Saint Imerio. Organized by the Gruppo Sant'Imerio together with the parish and local associations, the festival is the moment when Offlaga comes together around its traditions: an event that intertwines faith, good food, and music, a symbol of the identity of the Bassa Bresciana.
In 2026, Offlaga will again celebrate the Sant'Imerio Festival in June, a patronal festival spread over two weekends in the grounds of the San Giovanni Bosco oratory. Among the food stalls, the great classics of Brescian cuisine will return, from casoncelli to spit roast, accompanied by orchestras, ballroom dancing, and entertainment for children.
The precise dates and detailed program will be released by the Gruppo Sant'Imerio in the weeks preceding the festival.
