The Sagra di San Barnaba is an unmissable appointment for those who love the authentic traditions of the Venetian Prealps. Organized by the Pro Loco and municipal administration of Laghi, Veneto's smallest village, this summer festival offers a perfect blend of genuine gastronomy, sports, and cultural entertainment. For four days, from July 9-12, 2026, the village comes alive with concerts, musical performances, dance exhibitions, and festive moments that bring together residents and visitors in a celebratory atmosphere. At the heart of the festival stands a gastronomic stand where you can savor local specialties that tell the culinary story of Val di Ferro: homemade gnocchi, succulent grilled meats, fresh avannotti from the Astico and Posina rivers, and the renowned spit-roasted beef. Each evening starting at 7 PM, and at lunch on the final Sunday, you can taste these delicacies while enjoying the festive atmosphere and live music that accompanies the evenings. The highlight falls on Sunday, July 12, with the Marcia del Ciclamino, a running race that winds through the scenic trails of the surrounding forests, followed by a celebration of Holy Mass at the Church of San Barnaba. The festival closes with traditional folk music from the orchestra, a raffle drawing with delicious prizes, and a spectacular fireworks display that will light up the valley sky.
