About Trout Festival

On August 15th, Arsiero celebrates Ferragosto with the Feast of the Assumption and its Trout Festival. At the Palatenda of Patronato Don Bosco, you can enjoy local trout from the Astico stream, fried or grilled, accompanied by live music, a raffle, and the traditional fireworks that conclude the day. An unmissable event of Arsiero's August in the Alto Vicentino.

Arsiero's Ferragosto

The Feast of the Assumption is the heart of Ferragosto in Arsiero, in the province of Vicenza. On August 15th, the day of the Assumption, the town in the Alto Astico valley gathers for a celebration that combines religious and convivial aspects, organized by the Pro Loco Arsiero as part of the August Arsierese calendar.

The Trout Festival

The star of the table is the trout, caught in the clear waters of the Astico stream and served fried or grilled. The Trout Festival takes place at the Palatenda of Patronato Don Bosco, with food stalls open for lunch and dinner. A simple and genuine dish that tells of the town's connection with its river and its mountains.

Music, raffle, and fireworks

The day is marked by live music, the traditional raffle (lottery) and prize draw, culminating in the grand finale with fireworks that light up the Arsiero sky. For those spending Ferragosto in the Alto Vicentino, it's an opportunity to experience the authentic atmosphere of a mountain festival.
