About Country Beer Fest

Country Beer Fest is a fresh, country-themed beer festival debuting in Cinte Tesino, a charming village on the Tesino Plateau in Valsugana, nestled at the foot of the Lagorai mountain range. Organized by the Comitato Oktoberfest Cinte Tesino, the event combines live music, craft beer, themed cuisine, and plenty of country dancing over a free-entry weekend. It is a convivial gathering that brings a touch of the Far West to the Trentino mountains, featuring live bands, country dance lessons, and the traditional blessing of the horses.

Country Beer Fest in Cinte Tesino

The Country Beer Fest is a vibrant new event bringing the festive spirit of beer festivals to Cinte Tesino—a village of about 550 residents in the Autonomous Province of Trento—blended with a passion for country music and dance. The village is located on the Tesino Plateau, in the eastern part of Trentino between Valsugana and the Lagorai chain, surrounded by woods and mountains that provide the perfect backdrop for two days of free-entry celebrations.

A weekend of beer, music, and country dancing

Born from the initiative of the Comitato Oktoberfest Cinte Tesino, the festival takes place at the local Teatro Tenda. The program blends the conviviality typical of Trentino festivals with the spirit of the Far West: draft beer, kitchens serving themed menus, and evenings brought to life by live bands and country dance performances. There is also space for those who want to learn to dance, with preparatory lessons organized in the weeks leading up to the event.

  • Live music throughout the festival
  • Country dancing led by local groups and instructors
  • Open kitchens with themed menus and beer, including gluten-free options
  • Blessing of the horses at the sports field

A festival for everyone on the Tesino Plateau

With free entry and a shuttle service running throughout the event, the Country Beer Fest is designed to be accessible to families, country music enthusiasts, and curious visitors alike. The blessing of the horses at the sports field adds a traditional, local touch, while the evening dance parties draw dancers and country groups from across Trentino. It is a wonderful way to enliven the summer in a small Tesino village and showcase one of the most peaceful and scenic corners of Valsugana.
