On January 22, 2027, Novara honors its patron saint with the Festa patronale di San Gaudenzio, a deep-rooted tradition blending solemn religious devotion with local festivities in the shadow of the iconic Cupola. The emotional centerpiece of the celebrations takes place inside the Basilica with the evocative Cerimonia del Fiore (Flower Ceremony), during which an ornate floral chandelier pays tribute to the saint's relics following the opening of the tomb. Alongside the sacred rituals, the city comes alive with a sprawling street fair through the historic center and the savoring of local delicacies, chief among them the aromatic pane di San Gaudenzio, the signature sweet bread of this celebration.
