Ferragosto, an Italian tradition celebrated each August, marks the peak of the Italian summer with festivities, food, and family gatherings. Here at Leigh Place, we embrace this vibrant tradition to bring joy, togetherness, and a touch of Italian culture to our residents.
Ferragosto has ancient roots. Originally established by Emperor Augustus in 18 BC as a time for rest after the harvest; over the centuries, it has evolved into a day filled with feasts, community events, and relaxation. For residents, it is an opportunity to reminisce, celebrate, and enjoy a festive atmosphere.
Our Ferragosto celebrations highlight the strong sense of community at Leigh Place, and we are grateful for the opportunity to bring happiness and cultural richness to residents’ lives.
