About Village Festival

In early October, Vailate celebrates its village festival: four days, from Thursday to Sunday, that mix culture, games, and religious tradition. Scheduled events include tournaments, a theatre performance, art exhibitions, board games, music, and a market, culminating in Sunday's Mass and solemn procession. Organized by the Municipality with the parish and local associations, it is the most cherished festival in the Municipality of Vailate, in the province of Cremona.

The Village Festival in Vailate

The Village Festival is the autumn event that every year, in early October, enlivens Vailate, a Municipality in the province of Cremona in the Crema area, bordering Bergamo. It is organized by the Municipality in collaboration with the parish and local associations, and spans four days, from Thursday to Sunday.

Culture, Games, and Tradition

The festival's program is rich and varied: from the burraco tournament to board games, from the theatre performance to the art exhibition, to music and the market that fills the streets of the town center. A program designed for all ages, combining entertainment, social interaction, and the promotion of local realities.

Sunday: Mass and Procession

Sunday preserves the religious heart of the festival, with the Mass and the solemn procession that recall the traditional dimension of the celebration. It is a moment when the community of Vailate comes together, intertwining devotion and popular festivity in the heart of the Crema region, in the province of Cremona.
