🎉 Patron saint festival

Feast of Our Lady of the Snows

📍 Sirmione · Brescia · Lombardy

On 5 August Sirmione celebrates Our Lady of the Snows, its patron, on the day furthest from snow the calendar could have picked.

The patron of Sirmione is Our Lady of the Snows, celebrated on 5 August: a dedication that on Lake Garda, in the middle of August, sounds like a contradiction.

The reference point is the church of Santa Maria Maggiore, the parish church of the old town, a short walk from the peninsula that holds the Grotte di Catullo.
