Dent e For Dai Spiazi: The Summer Festival of Tenna

Every year, in the heart of summer, the small village of Tenna, in the province of Trento (Trentino-Alto Adige), transforms for two evenings into the stage for Dent e For Dai Spiazi. The name, in the local Trentino dialect, evokes the idea of moving "in and out of the squares," referring to the streets, courtyards, and small piazzas of the historic center: this is the very essence of the festival, a widespread food and wine trail that invites visitors to stroll from one stall to another among the village houses.

Local Flavors and Festive Associations

The heart of the event lies in its food and wine stalls—about a dozen stations managed by the Pro Loco and local associations—where you can taste traditional Trentino dishes, local products, and freshly prepared specialties. Tables set up along the streets are accompanied by live music in the square, with bands and artists enlivening the evenings until late at night, alongside a rich program of entertainment for children, making the event perfect for the whole family.

An Event Born from Volunteering

Dent e For Dai Spiazi is organized by the Pro Loco Tenna APS and is part of the Vigolana summer events promoted in Valsugana. Like many Trentino village festivals, it is part of the National Pro Loco Day calendar, an initiative held every July to celebrate the work of volunteers and network hundreds of events across the region. Admission is free, and the festival is a wonderful opportunity to rediscover the village of Tenna, overlooking the lakes of Valsugana at the foot of the Vigolana Plateau.

Tenna and the Vigolana Plateau

Situated between Lake Caldonazzo and Lake Levico, in the Municipality of Tenna, the village is a popular destination for summer tourism in Trentino. The Dent e For Dai Spiazi festival is one of the most cherished moments for the local community and an invitation for residents and visitors alike to experience the authentic atmosphere of a mountain village in celebration.
