Festa Alpina di Ubiale Clanezzo – Sagra dell'Asen

The 'penne nere' party in Ubiale Clanezzo

The Festa Alpina di Ubiale Clanezzo, also known as Sagra dell'Asen, is the summer event organised by the Gruppo Alpini (Alpine troops association) of this municipality in the province of Bergamo, at the gateway to Val Brembana. It takes place on the municipal sports field and represents one of the most cherished moments of the local summer, bringing the community together in the spirit of Alpine traditions.

Cuisine, music, and conviviality

For several days, the sports field transforms into a large celebration area, with Alpine cuisine served at the stands, live music evenings, and entertainment for all ages. The event maintains the authentic spirit of the 'penne nere' festivals: conviviality, solidarity, and attachment to the territory, with typical Bergamascan traditional dishes taking centre stage.

A tradition spanning decades

The Gruppo Alpini of Ubiale Clanezzo has celebrated important foundation anniversaries over the years, and the Sagra dell'Asen has become a recurring summer event, usually around the end of July. More than just a local festival ('sagra'), it's an opportunity to strengthen community ties and welcome the many holidaymakers who visit this corner of Val Brembana in the summer, enjoying mountain cuisine, music, and fun.
