Feuerwehrfest Tall/Schenna

The Tall Firefighters' Festival, the heart of the community

The Feuerwehrfest Tall/Schenna is the summer festival organized by the Freiwillige Feuerwehr Tall (FF Tall), the volunteer fire brigade of the small hamlet of Tall (Talle), located above Schenna in the municipality of Schenna in the province of Bolzano, in the Merano region. As in many South Tyrolean communities, the firefighters' festival is not just a moment of fun: it is an occasion for the entire village to rally around its volunteers, thanking them for their service throughout the year and supporting their activities by participating in the festival.

A weekend of music and specialties

The event takes place over the weekend at the Feuerwehrhalle Tall, the fire station in Obertall, nestled in the landscape of meadows and orchards typical of the Schenna plateau. The program alternates between musical and social moments: Saturday evening kicks off with the lively atmosphere of Bohemian brass music (böhmische Musik) followed by concerts from Tyrolean folk groups, while Sunday is dedicated to the traditional Frühschoppen, the long midday aperitif accompanied by a brass band, which is beloved throughout South Tyrol.

Tradition and flavors of South Tyrol

There is no shortage of gastronomy, prepared by the firefighters themselves and the local volunteers: South Tyrolean specialties from the Merano area, grilled meats, homemade desserts, and draft beer mark the two days. Children and families will find space in a festive and informal atmosphere, typical of South Tyrolean village festivals.
