About Carnevale in Piazza
The Carnevale in Piazza in Samone
Carnevale in Piazza is the winter highlight that brings together the community of Samone, a small village in the Valsugana valley nestled among chestnut groves and coniferous forests in the province of Trento, within the Trentino-Alto Adige region. Organized by the Pro Loco of Samone, the event transforms the village square into a cheerful gathering place where Carnival is experienced in its most authentic, local form.
A celebration in the heart of Valsugana
Just a short distance from Borgo Valsugana, Samone is a rural alpine village surrounded by the natural beauty of the Valsugana and Lagorai area. Carnevale in Piazza reflects this intimate and convivial atmosphere: rather than large floats or spectacular parades, it is a community festival where neighbors, families, and visitors gather around good food and music.
The flavors of Trentino tradition
The undisputed stars of the festival are the canederli, the bread dumplings that symbolize Trentino cuisine, served either in broth or with sauce. The Pro Loco offers them for a voluntary donation, in keeping with the spirit of solidarity and participation that drives these village events. Sandwiches and a bar service are also available to accompany the day's festivities.
Music, costumes, and cheer
- Outdoor kitchen with canederli in broth or with sauce for a voluntary donation
- Live music to liven up the afternoon
- Costumes and disguises for both adults and children

The atmosphere is typical of the Carnival celebrations in the Trentino valleys: informal, welcoming, and family-friendly. Admission is free and the festival is open to everyone.
An authentic Carnival to discover
For those seeking a Carnival experience away from major events, the Carnevale in Piazza in Samone is a chance to savor the genuineness of Valsugana, enjoy traditional dishes, and experience the warmth of a mountain community. It is a small but significant event that the Pro Loco renews with passion for its village every year.
