Gingerfest

A festival that tells the story of the Susa Valley through art

Gingerfest is a free cultural event held in Avigliana, a town in the Metropolitan City of Turin overlooking its famous lakes at the entrance to the Susa Valley. Organized by the Silviadizenzero ETS association, the festival was born in 2018 from a group of friends with the vision of creating a happy space to provide a home for the artists who live and breathe the valley.

What to expect

For an entire day, the Alveare Verde Park on Corso Laghi transforms into a bustling hub of activity: creative artisan stalls, interactive workshops for all ages, thematic talks, performances, and live music. It is a festival designed to be experienced at a leisurely pace, wandering from stall to stall, stopping to listen to a discussion, or letting yourself be carried away by a sunset concert.

• Creative Market: Over twenty stalls featuring local artisans and artists.
• Workshops: Hands-on creative activities, including a dedicated space for children.
• Talks: Discussions on themes related to the valley, the environment, and the cultural resilience of mountain areas.
• Music: DJ sets and live concerts in the second half of the day.

A project rooted in the territory

Silviadizenzero ETS has been working since 2013 to protect and promote nature and the environment, with close ties to dance, photography, art, and cuisine. Gingerfest is the synthesis of this vision: an event that weaves together environmental sustainability, creativity, and social connection. After its initial editions, the event found a permanent home in Avigliana at the Alveare Verde, a more accessible venue capable of welcoming a wide audience, with the patronage of the Municipality of Avigliana, which shares its values.

The festival is particularly attentive to the theme of the Susa Valley as a living territory, made of communities, artistic practices, and relationships: each edition proposes a common thread that invites reflection on living in the mountains consciously. It is an ideal destination for those seeking an authentic cultural experience just a few kilometers from Turin, immersed in the greenery and traditions of the Alpine Piedmont.
