About Carnival Polenta Feast
Carnival at the Table
In Châtillon (Aosta Province), Carnival has the warm and enveloping flavor of polenta. The Carnival Polenta Feast is the event that brings residents together in the town center on Shrove Tuesday for the traditional distribution of polenta and sausage, served from noon onwards.
A Simple and Authentic Feast
Far from the splendor of large carnival parades, the Châtillon polenta feast retains its genuine character, made of local gastronomy and togetherness. Polenta, a symbolic dish of Aosta Valley mountain cuisine, is served with sausage in a convivial moment open to residents and visitors. It's an opportunity to cheerfully conclude the Carnival period and to taste a dish of Alpine tradition in the heart of the lower Aosta Valley.
The event is part of the broader calendar of carnival celebrations in the Châtillon and Saint-Vincent area, which in the preceding days offers polenta feasts, parades, and the Children's Carnival.
