Festa d'Estate di Selvetta

The summer festival of Selvetta

The Festa d'Estate di Selvetta is a village fair held in July in the hamlet of Selvetta, part of the Municipality of Forcola, in the province of Sondrio, in the heart of Valtellina. The event, hosted at the Selvetta sports field, is a moment of celebration and gathering for the local community, featuring typical cuisine and a convivial atmosphere.

The flavors of Valtellina

The absolute star of the festival is the typical Valtellina cuisine, with specialties that tell the gastronomic tradition of this Alpine valley. The evenings, which generally start around 7:30 PM, offer local dishes in a familiar and welcoming setting. It's an opportunity to savor authentic mountain cuisine, far from the tourist circuits and close to the authenticity of village festivals.

The Pro Loco La Caürga

The event is organized by the Pro Loco La Caürga of Forcola, an association active in the area since 1984 and committed to promoting the traditions and community life of the village. The very name of the association, linked to the dialect and the Valtellina territory, testifies to its deep roots in local culture. The Summer Festival is one of the initiatives through which the Pro Loco keeps the identity of Selvetta and Forcola alive.
