The Carnival celebration by the Pro Loco of Samone in Valsugana
This edition has not been confirmed by the organiser to date. We recommend checking before going.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
The Carnevale in Piazza in Samone, in the Valsugana valley (province of Trento), is a recurring event that the Pro Loco organizes every winter in the village square. The dates for the 2026 edition have not yet been made official: the festival usually falls on a Sunday between late January and February, featuring outdoor cooking, canederli for a voluntary donation, music, and costumes. To find out the program and the final date, it is recommended to check the channels of the Municipality of Samone and the Pro Loco.
