Held at the end of June, Festa de San Piero de Casteo is a vibrant celebration in Castello, featuring a rich calendar of events such as exhibitions, regattas, children's shows, dances, concerts, and a grand final lottery. The festivities also include a water parade, board games, puppet shows for kids, and performances by the Pellestrina band. Rooted in religious tradition, the festival honors Saints Peter and Paul with a procession and mass at the Basilica of Castello, a moment eagerly anticipated by locals and visitors alike.
