Maroni in Festa

Drena celebrates its most precious fruit

The streets of Drena come alive for the 55th edition with a widespread festival dedicated to the town’s symbolic fruit: walks in the chestnut groves, cooking workshops, show cooking, music and many opportunities to taste it.

Sweeter than the chestnut and characterised by a firm texture, the Marone di Drena is grown using natural methods and harvested by hand according to tradition.
A product that reflects the deep connection between the community and the centuries-old chestnut groves surrounding the village.
 

Maroni in Festa is an event of Mese del Gusto, the “festival” of flavors and products of Garda Trentino.
A series of delicious events that celebrate passion, tradition, and artisanal excellence.
Experience autumn delight in Garda Trentino and join the Mese del Gusto activities!
 

Eating local is good for you and for the place you're visiting.
The events of Mese del Gusto celebrate seasonality and short supply chains, the key ingredients of a more mindful approach to food.
They are also Eventi Attenti (“mindful events”): events that take practical steps to reduce energy use and waste, encourage recycling, and promote more sustainable ways of getting around.

Join in, taste, explore: every event is an invitation to choose with flavour and with greater awareness. It doesn't take much to make a difference!
