Farmers’ Thanksgiving Festival and Blessing of the Tractors, as part of the traditional Feast of Saint Martin, patron saint of the village. The day begins with Holy Mass and a procession accompanied by the Vigo-Darè marching band, followed by the blessing of the tractors in the church square. After the service, a small aperitif will be offered, and from 12:00 noon the kitchen will open with traditional autumn dishes: tripe soup, polenta carbonera, and the traditional törtel di patate (potato fritters) for everyone.
