Festivals in the villages
Discover the top festivals and events in Trentino's villages
A chance to get together, to sit and eat on a wooden bench, close to each other, amidst the chatter, music and laughter. A party. As in the old days, when village festivals came after months of work in the fields, to celebrate the fruit of so much toil.
Events that allow you to taste the best this land has to offer and discover the events that have made the history of these places, in the heart of the mountains. If you have never attended a festival in Trentino's villages, this is the right season to start.
Sagra della Ciuìga, San Lorenzo in Banale
A party to celebrate the famous sausage, a slow food product, which preserves the knowledge and tradition of the Banale plateau in its ingredients and slow preparation and drying. And to do so there could be no better place than the wonderful village of San Lorenzo, made even more fascinating by the festive atmosphere, from 31 October to 3 November.
A Walk with the Greeters, San Lorenzo Dorsino
You can also enjoy another nice initiative in the same area. In San Lorenzo Dorsino, you can meet the Greeters, local people who will chaperon you through the village, free of charge, not as tourist guides, but as friends who invite you to take a walk off the beaten track.
Walnut Festival, Bleggio Superiore
From 8 to 10 November, the façades of the old farmhouses in Cavrasto (a hamlet of Bleggio Superiore) become small shops for local products, where you can taste the Bleggio walnut alone or as the ingredient of sweet-smelling cakes, fragrant loaves of bread, robust nocino liqueur and the rare walnut salami.
San Michele Fair, Ossana
For the entire day of 29 September, the village of Fucine - a hamlet belonging to the municipality of Ossana, and listed among the 'Most Beautiful Villages in Italy' - will host various initiatives dedicated to handicrafts, from the market fair in the village streets to workshops and shows for children. To discover one of the areas that best identify and tell the story of the Solandro area.
In viaggio con i carbonai, Bondone
The village of Bondone, in Valle del Chiese, today one of the Most Beautiful Villages in Italy, was once a village of charcoal burners. The population would leave their homes to go and live for months in the woods, to make charcoal from wood. If you want to find out about this ancient trade, don't miss "Tra Fumi e Memorie: in viaggio con i carbonai", on the 3rd of October.
Pumpkin and Winter Vegetable Festival, Lasino
Do you like pumpkin? Then we look forward to seeing you in Lasino (hamlet of Madruzzo) on 5 and 6 October, for a festival featuring pumpkin and winter vegetable dishes. The Festival will feature decorations with antique tools and utensils, craft markets, children's workshops and themed games open to all.
