In the heart of summer, from Friday, August 8 to Sunday, August 10, 2025, the district of Villaga di Feltre hosts the traditional San Fermo Festival, a popular celebration that brings together sports, gastronomy, and entertainment for both adults and children, set against the beautiful pre-Alpine backdrop.
The weekend opens on Friday evening with a traditional dinner featuring polenta and grilled sardines, accompanied by a drawing exhibition on the theme “A Planet to Save”, with submissions due by 6:00 PM at Bar Giusti.
Saturday, August 9 is dedicated to movement and outdoor sports, thanks to the tenth edition of the Villaga Trail – Corsa del Gal. At 5:30 PM, the Corsa del Pulcino takes off, a one-kilometer obstacle race for children under 12. Following that, at 6:00 PM, the main race will start: a competitive event of 9 kilometers for adults and 4 kilometers for youths under 14, along with a fun walk open to everyone on a 4 or 9-kilometer route. The day will end with a festive traditional dinner featuring spit-roasted meats and the “Miss Cake” contest, which will reward the best homemade cakes, submitted by 6:00 PM at the former school.
On Sunday, August 10, the program resumes in the morning with a mixed 4x4 green volleyball tournament, followed by the Holy Mass at 10:30 AM in the Church of San Fermo. The afternoon comes to life with an aperitif by the field and, starting at 7:30 PM, the final dinner featuring goulash. The awards for the competitions and the San Fermo lottery drawing will conclude the event in the late evening.
Throughout the festival, there will be a kiosk serving drinks, local specialties, and a menu dedicated to children. In case of bad weather, events will take place under the covered pavilion.
Organized by Enal Sport Villaga A.S.D., with the patronage of the Municipality of Feltre and the support of numerous sponsors and local associations, the San Fermo Festival is a special occasion to experience a weekend filled with nature, tradition, and community.
