Feast of San Piero de Casteo

At San Pietro di Castello, people wait together for the arrival of summer. The festival that this island welcomes every year began as a religious celebration in memory of Saints Peter and Paul, venerated by locals in the basilica of St. Peter, formerly the seat of the patriarch of Venice. It is a popular rite that carries on heartfelt traditions through masses, music, dancing, gastronomic events, games and shows for children and much more.
