About Valnogaredo in Festa
Saint Bortolo, End-of-Summer Festival in the Hills
In the hillside village of Valnogaredo, a hamlet of Cinto Euganeo in the province of Padua, the end of summer coincides with the festival dedicated to Saint Bartholomew — known here familiarly as San Bortolo. 'Valnogaredo in Festa' is a village festival with a long tradition that, between the end of August and the first days of September, brings the community and visitors of the Euganean Hills together for a long period of celebrations.
Venetian Cuisine Takes Centre Stage
The heart of the event is the well-stocked food stand, featuring dishes from the Venetian and Euganean Hills tradition, accompanied by local wines. The festival offers the typical convivial atmosphere of Venetian sagre, with outdoor tables set amidst the hilly landscape and a warm welcome that is renewed year after year.
Music, Dancing, and Evenings
The evenings of 'Valnogaredo in Festa' are enlivened by ballroom orchestras and DJ sets, making the dance floor one of the main meeting points. There are also moments of entertainment and socialising, in a festival that keeps alive the popular spirit of rural Veneto.
A Parish and Village Tradition
Organized around the parish church of Saint Bartholomew, the Valnogaredo festival is an authentic expression of the identity of this small hamlet in the Euganean Hills. An event that intertwines patronal devotion, gastronomy, and community celebration, offering visitors a genuine glimpse into village life in the Padua region.
