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.

La Festa dei Pastori, San Sebastiano
