Festa della Beata Vergine Maria (Feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary)

In Morano Madonnuccia, a small and charming hamlet of Gualdo Tadino in the province of Perugia, the eagerly anticipated Festa della Beata Vergine Maria returns—an essential event for those who love tradition, great food, and evenings of pure enjoyment. From August 12-15, 2026, the Circolo ACLI Morano Madonnuccia transforms the village into a celebration where religious devotion beautifully intertwines with local hospitality and gastronomy. The heart of the event is undoubtedly the culinary offerings, featuring the celebrated bigoli and signature dishes of Umbrian cuisine that will take center stage at the food stands opening each evening at 7:30 PM. From 9:00 PM onward, the festa comes alive with live music and dancing, courtesy of orchestras that will keep visitors entertained late into the night, creating a magical and immersive atmosphere. Saturday will be the highlight: following mass and a striking procession through the village streets, a spectacular fireworks display will provide the perfect finale to this celebration that seamlessly blends spirituality, culinary tradition, and entertainment. A perfect opportunity to discover the authentic flavors of Umbria and create unforgettable memories with loved ones.
