San Lorenzo Patron Saint Feast
San Lorenzo (St Lawrence) is Cogoleto's patron saint, celebrated on 10 August — one of the town's most heartfelt feast days. It blends a religious side — solemn mass at the Santa Maria Maggiore parish and a procession through the old town with the confraternities' crucifixes and the saint's shrine — with a popular celebration: a fair and stalls along the seafront, a food sagra with Ligurian specialities run by the Confraternita di San Lorenzo, and evening fireworks over the sea. It falls on the Night of San Lorenzo, the night of shooting stars. Check the Confraternita di San Lorenzo or the Tourist Office for the final times and programme.
