About Festa del Fen
The hay festival in Livigno
The Festa del Fen is the event that in Livigno, in the Province of Sondrio, celebrates hay and haymaking, central activities in the agricultural history of the alpine community. It is a festival that tells of the deep bond between the people of Livigno and their territory, recovering gestures and knowledge from the farm work of the past.
Traditional knowledge and customs
For one day, Livigno stages the agricultural world of the past: demonstrations of work in the fields, convivial moments, and the presence of residents in traditional costume transform the town into a great living story. Haymaking, a fundamental seasonal gesture for survival in high-altitude valleys, thus becomes an occasion for celebration and the transmission of memory.
Local products and conviviality
The festival is also an opportunity to discover Livigno's typical products and to share moments of sociality. Amidst demonstrations, tastings, and atmospheres of yesteryear, the Festa del Fen offers visitors an authentic glimpse into the rural culture of Valtellina and the identity of a community that does not forget its roots.
