Saint Anne celebrations set across Monopoli and Chioggia in July 2026
The coastal towns of Monopoli and Chioggia in Italy will host multi‑day festivals honoring Saint Anne in late July 2026. In Monopoli, the three‑day event runs from 24 to 26 July and features daily Masses, a cultural programme that includes a tribute concert to Cesare Cremonini, traditional Apulian music, dance performances and a fireworks display organised by Maxima Fireworks. Religious ceremonies are presided over by local clergy, and the festivities conclude with a one‑woman show and prize draws.
Meanwhile, Sant'Anna di Chioggia will hold a five‑day Sagra from 23 to 27 July. The programme combines a gastronomic market, live music, orchestral dances, a Luna Park, charitable fishing, and several tournaments. Daily Santa Messa services are followed by processions, and the closing night includes a lottery awarding a Renault Clio, a Piaggio Vespa and an iPhone 17 Pro, plus a laser show. Both festivals aim to blend devotion, local tradition and entertainment for residents and visitors.
