The beer and country dance festival on the Tesino Plateau
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.
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.
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.
The Country Beer Fest 2026 inaugurated the event in Cinte Tesino with a weekend full of fun. On Saturday, May 30, the festival opened at 5:00 PM with live music, followed by kitchens opening at 7:00 PM with themed menus and beer (including gluten-free options), and from 8:00 PM, an evening of country dancing with live music. On Sunday, May 31, the gathering at the Cinte Tesino sports field at 11:00 AM preceded the blessing of the horses, followed by a Sunday lunch with open kitchens and live music. A free shuttle service was active throughout the festival. Preparatory country dance lessons were held in the preceding weeks.
Cinte Tesino can be reached by car from Valsugana by heading up towards the Tesino Plateau. The nearest train station is in Borgo Valsugana on the Trento-Venice line, from where you can continue by car or local transport. A free shuttle service is available during the festival.
Free entry. The festival takes place at the Teatro Tenda in Cinte Tesino; the blessing of the horses is held at the sports field.
