Festa della Patata e del Würstel
Bavarian and Tyrolean flavours in the shadow of the Rocca di Castello
About Festa della Patata e del Würstel
A taste of Mitteleuropa at Castello di Arzignano
Every autumn, the village of Castello di Arzignano, in the province of Vicenza, transforms into a small Bavarian festival. The Festa della Patata e del Würstel, organised by the Comitato Sagra di Castello, offers a journey through the flavours of Tyrolean and German cuisine for several days, just a stone's throw from the charming Scaliger fortress.
Canederli, goulash and beer under the marquee
The heart of the event is the large heated marquee set up in Piazzale della Vittoria, ensuring the festival goes ahead whatever the weather. On the menu are canederli, goulash, pork knuckle, roast chicken, würstel, fried and roasted potatoes, bretzels, spätzle, strauben, and porchetta, accompanied by a wide selection of beers. A carefully curated gastronomic offering that attracts thousands of food lovers every year.
Music, walks and fun
Evenings are enlivened by concerts from folk groups and Bavarian-style bands – from accordionists to orchestras with dozens of members – while the "Lunapark della Patata", with wooden games and inflatables, entertains the little ones. Sunday morning is dedicated to Castellando, the non-competitive walk through the village streets and paths. An event that combines taste, music, and socialising in the municipality of Arzignano, in the heart of West Vicenza.
Festa della Patata e del Würstel — edition 2026
For 2026, the Festa della Patata e del Würstel is expected at Castello di Arzignano during the usual period in October. The event will again feature the large heated marquee in Piazzale della Vittoria with Tyrolean specialties, beer, folk music, and the Castellando walk.
The precise dates and full program will be communicated by the Comitato Sagra di Castello through official channels in the weeks preceding the event.
