Venetian Sagra Season 2009: The First 6 Local Festivities & Food

It’s September, the summer has finally wound down, people are back from their month long vacations and slowly going back to work. The weather has finally broke as well as the humidity making the evenings cool and enjoyable…so what to do? If you’re like me, sitting around the whole month of August in the sweltering heat can make enjoyable temperatures a little overwhelming because of the endless possibilities. Fortunately, the season brings with it not only cooler temperatures, but a large amount of local celebrations called Sagras. A Sagra is basically your local feast or celebration marking a patron saint or local harvest. For example, last week was the Bigoli festival in Monterosso, Bigoli is a type of pasta similar to spaghetti, only thicker. The list below is a list of the first six Sagras to be held in the Venice Province. From September 4, to September 8 in Cazzago di Pianiga (VE) Cazzago Sitis Laif Festival 2009 From September 11, to September 13

in Mestre (VE) Venice Country Show From September 12, to September 13 in Teglio Veneto (VE) 16th Palio dei mussi From September 10, to September 20 in Fiorentina (VE) Sagra Paesana From September 11, to September 21 in Conetta (VE) Fiera di San Matteo e degustazione paella From September 18, to September 25 in Caorle (VE) Un Mare di Sapori - I Sapori del Veneto, dal mare alla montagna Unfortunately, the websites are in Italian, but if you plug the text into a translator service you’ll get a rough idea of what the sagra is about.
