About Green Fest

The Frossasco Green Fest is a cultural and environmental event that brings the small town of Frossasco, in the Pinerolo area of the Province of Turin, to life every year. Organized by the Gruppo Progetto FroG in collaboration with Legambiente Circolo di Pinerolo, it features exhibitions, conferences, nature walks, markets, and literary meetings centered around a different theme each year. A week of free events that weaves together nature, sustainability, local traditions, and the memory of the territory.

A green festival in the heart of the Pinerolo area

The Frossasco Green Fest has become a well-established event for the town of Frossasco, a village in the Pinerolo area of the Province of Turin, nestled at the foot of the mountains that separate the plains from the valleys. Born from the commitment of the Gruppo Progetto FroG and Legambiente Circolo di Pinerolo, the festival focuses on nature, the environment, and the deep bond between the community and its land.

Each edition revolves around a central theme that serves as a common thread for all initiatives: from sustainable water management to forest biodiversity, and the recovery of Piedmontese traditions and legends. The result is a festival that goes beyond ecology in the strict sense, embracing culture, history, literature, and local folklore.

Exhibitions, conferences, and nature

The Green Fest program typically spans several days and blends different forms of expression. The heart of the event is the collective exhibition hosted in the Municipal Library in Piazza Donatori di Sangue, which brings together the works of numerous local artists. Alongside the exhibition, there are conferences, literary meetings, guided walks to discover wild flora, workshops and games for children, as well as themed markets.

Outdoor activities, from excursions to natural snacks, invite participants to rediscover the trails and natural environments surrounding the town, while evenings dedicated to books and legends give voice to the oral culture of the Pinerolo area.

The Masche: the 2026 edition

The 2026 edition chose the theme "The Masche and their world", focusing on the famous legendary figures of Piedmontese folklore: women with deep knowledge of herbs and nature, persecuted as witches and later transformed into myth. A theme that perfectly intertwines nature, history, and popular traditions, confirming the festival's vocation to unite the environment and local culture.

A community-focused event

Although it is a local town event, the Frossasco Green Fest stands out for the quality and coherence of its offerings. Free admission to all initiatives makes it an accessible and participatory event, designed for families and those who want to experience the Pinerolo area in a slow and conscious way.

Green Fest โ€” edition 2026

The 2026 edition of the Frossasco Green Fest took place from May 9 to 15, with the collective exhibition open until May 17. The chosen theme was "The Masche and their world," dedicated to the legendary figures of Piedmontese folklore, exploring history, nature, and popular traditions. A week of free exhibitions, conferences, walks, and literary events, organized by the Gruppo Progetto FroG with Legambiente Circolo di Pinerolo.

The theme of the 2026 edition of the Frossasco Green Fest was dedicated to the Masche, the legendary figures of Piedmontese folklore: women with deep knowledge of herbs and ancient medicine, persecuted as witches and later becoming part of myth.

The heart of the festival was the collective exhibition "The Masche and their world", set up in the Municipal Library and dedicated to the legends and nature of the territory, featuring works by eleven local artists (Balocco, Berta, Castellino, Challier, Conti, Copetti, Cottino, Cusino, Dapo', Finello, and Trevisi).
