In 291 days Patron saint festival

Venaria Reale · Turin · Piedmont
On 14 August Venaria Reale celebrates Saint Eusebius, and for the occasion the town hall and municipal services close. It is the patronal feast, and the town takes it seriously.
The patronal feast of Venaria Reale falls on 14 August and is dedicated to Saint Eusebius. It is not merely a date in the calendar: on that day the ordinary business of the municipal offices and of the town services is suspended.
As deeply rooted as the patronal day are the celebrations of the Nativity of Mary, known locally as the feast of Maria Bambina, run by the parish of the same name. And there is the palio, documented at least since the 1980s: the thirty-sixth edition was run in 2022.
Other events within 20 km around the same days.
