A Pardac de Mercol Sera

Wednesday evenings in the heart of Predazzo

A Pardac de Mercol Sera is the summer festival that brings the historic center of Predazzo to life every Wednesday evening in the heart of the Trentino-Alto Adige region. The name is an affectionate expression in the local Fiemmese dialect, simply meaning "in Predazzo on Wednesday evening": an invitation to experience the town when the streets fall silent to traffic and light up with music and community.

A historic center turned pedestrian zone

Starting at 7:00 PM, the town's main arteries—from Via Trento to Via Cesare Battisti—are closed to traffic and transformed into a sprawling open-air lounge. With shops staying open late, market stalls, local craft vendors, and food stands, it is the perfect setting for an evening stroll that blends shopping, local cuisine, and social fun.

A different musical vibe every week

The hallmark of the event is its live music: every Wednesday features different genres performed at various spots throughout the center, giving each evening its own unique character. From folk and traditional sounds to modern bands, the atmosphere remains that of a classic village festival that celebrates tradition without sacrificing contemporary entertainment.

Folklore and tradition in Val di Fiemme

Organized by the Val di Fiemme and Cembra Tourist Board, the festival is designed to showcase the identity of the Municipality of Predazzo and the valley. It is a wonderful way to enjoy the mountains after dark, support local businesses, and offer families and visitors a recurring highlight during their summer holidays.

Who is it for?

• Families and children, thanks to the safe, pedestrian-friendly environment
• Tourists vacationing in Val di Fiemme and the Dolomites
• Fans of markets, local handicrafts, and Trentino specialties
• Anyone looking for live music in a relaxed, open-air setting

A simple and authentic event that captures the most vibrant side of Predazzo and Val di Fiemme every summer.
