Ferragosto Grand Gala

The Ferragosto Grand Gala in Malè

The Ferragosto Grand Gala is one of the most anticipated summer events in Malè, the main town of Val di Sole, in the Province of Trento. It is a grand performance evening organized by the Gruppo Strumentale di Malè, which renews its musical tradition in the town square every summer. Under the stars of a midsummer night, music, art, entertainment, culture, tradition, and gastronomy blend into a single occasion, offering the audience a wide range of emotions and sensations.

An evening under the stars

Set outdoors in the heart of this Trentino village, the Grand Gala transforms the square into an open-air stage. The night is enriched by light effects, dances, and evocative sounds that make the summer atmosphere even more fascinating and unforgettable. The format combines live musical performances by the Gruppo Strumentale with entertainment, in a unique scenic setting designed to engage families, residents, and tourists vacationing in Val di Sole.

Music and tradition of Val di Sole

The star of the evening is the Gruppo Strumentale di Malè, a musical ensemble founded in 1998 that represents one of the most vibrant cultural expressions of the valley. The repertoire ranges from pop music to sounds designed for a diverse audience, within a popular festival context that highlights the bond between the community and its territory. The Grand Gala is thus part of the rich summer calendar of events that bring Malè and the entire Val di Sole to life during the Ferragosto period.

Taste and local products

The evening is made even more delicious by tastings of typical Val di Sole desserts and samples that respect the gastronomic tradition of Trentino. The combination of entertainment and local flavors is one of the hallmarks of the event, blending musical experience with the pleasure of fine mountain cuisine.

Malè, heart of Val di Sole

Located at an altitude of about 737 meters, the town of Malè sits at the center of the triangle formed by the Brenta Dolomites (a UNESCO World Heritage site), Madonna di Campiglio, and the Stelvio National Park. The village, the capital of Val di Sole in Trentino-Alto Adige, offers an ideal setting for enjoying summer evenings amidst nature, culture, and tradition, of which the Ferragosto Grand Gala is one of the most evocative expressions.
