The Festa di San Martino returns to Ruata Sangone in Giaveno for its 121st edition, scheduled from 5 to 8 November 2026 under the patronage of the City of Giaveno. Four days dedicated to the hamlet and its chapel, with religious events and popular celebrations. The programme alternates theatre and conviviality: on Thursday, the comedy at Teatro San Lorenzo opens the event; on Friday, dinner together at the Bon Boccon restaurant. On Saturday, there are popular games for adults and children, the running memorial, and a snack with roasted chestnuts and mulled wine. Sunday is the central moment: a walk with the Banda Musicale Leone XIII and the majorettes, San Martino on horseback, solemn mass in the Cappella di San Martino, and distribution of the traditional "charity" bread. The festival is organised by Pro Loco Giaveno together with the Antica Società di San Martino.
