About Schiavonia Festival
The Patronal Feast of Schiavonia
The Schiavonia d'Este Festival is the patronal feast of the hamlet of Schiavonia, in Este, in the province of Padua, dedicated to the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary (September 8th). Organized by the parish, it combines religious moments and popular celebration, making it one of the most cherished events for the local community.
Flavors of the Festival
The food stand, open every evening, offers traditional Venetian dishes: homemade pasta (bigoli), "musso" with polenta, beef "straeca", roasted and grilled meats, prosciutto and melon, and mixed fried dishes. In recent years, the menu has also been expanded to include a gluten-free option.
Music and Community
Each evening is accompanied by live music and entertainment for all ages, while solemn celebrations for the patron saint take place in the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. A festival that blends faith, gastronomy, and village social life.
