Edition 2025 — Alpi Apuane in Festa

The 2025 edition of Alpi Apuane in Festa took place in Careggine from August 15 to 17, immediately following Ferragosto. Three days of gastronomy, folklore, and tradition in the heart of the Apuan Alps Park, featuring the Palio del Tiro alla Forma, the historical pageant, the witches and spirits of the village, the local products market, and numerous activities for families and children.

The 2025 edition

In 2025, Alpi Apuane in Festa enlivened the village of Careggine, in Garfagnana, from August 15 to 17. As per tradition, the event featured the famous Palio del Tiro alla Forma—the challenge between the village districts rolling a 30kg cheese wheel along the main street—preceded by the historical pageant in costume.

The evenings were enlivened by the "paure": witches, goblins, and spirits that, according to legend, return from the woods to serve delicacies through the village streets. There was no shortage of the ancient crafts market, excursions in the Park, activities for children, and stalls with the authentic flavors of Garfagnana. The event, with free admission, was promoted by the Municipality of Careggine with the Monte Sumbra Association and the Apuan Alps Regional Park Authority.
