Festivals and Celebrations

Across the north-east of Italy, a multitude of festivals take place each year that feature local food, wines or beers, or mark religious days in traditional fashion. These occur everywhere from small mountain villages and countryside towns to the large cities of Venice, Verona, Vicenza, Treviso and Padova. The origins of some of these traditions are buried in the distant past, but the one thing that they have in common is that they all provide an opportunity to celebrate with plenty of good food and wine.
