The historic San Massimo Festival in Verona: a blend of tradition and community

The San Massimo district in Verona is preparing to celebrate the 113th edition of its historic patronal festival. From August 27th to September 2nd, 2026, the community gathers to honor a tradition with roots dating back to 1913, carrying the warmth of a legacy that many believe existed as early as the 19th century.

The event program is a blend of faith, sports, and conviviality. The days will be marked by live music concerts, featuring bands ranging from pop to 883 tributes, as well as evenings dedicated to country and Caribbean rhythms. There will also be moments of reflection and solidarity, such as the evening dedicated to the ‘Più di un Sogno’ Foundation, highlighting the inclusive spirit of this celebration.

For outdoor enthusiasts, Sunday will be the highlight of the activities: the ‘Corsa dell’Angelo’ race will offer a route through the surrounding countryside, while the afternoon will be dedicated to local sports associations, giving younger participants the chance to try out various disciplines. The grand finale on September 2nd will be marked by an evocative Laser Show Dance. Food and wine stands will be available throughout the event, offering authentic flavors in a setting of joyful sharing.
