About Last Summer Glow

Last Summer Glow is a late-summer evening event in the South Tyrolean village of Naturno, marking the gentle transition from the warm season to autumn. Along Piazza Burggräfler and Via Stazione, strings of twinkling lights and the warm glow of candles illuminate the square, complemented by natural decorations. Guests can enjoy cocktails, a curated selection of local red and white wines, and fresh juices, paired with delicious culinary bites in a relaxed and elegant atmosphere in the heart of the Merano region.

Last Summer Glow: bidding farewell to summer in Naturno

In the heart of the Merano region, the village of Naturno (known as Naturns in German) celebrates the end of summer with Last Summer Glow, an evening designed to gracefully usher in the transition from the warm season to autumn. The event takes place in Piazza Burggräfler, along Via Stazione, in the center of this town located in the province of Bolzano, in the Trentino-Alto Adige region.

An atmosphere of lights and candles

As evening falls, the square is transformed: strings of twinkling lights and the warm glow of candles create an enchanting ambiance, further enhanced by natural decorations. It is an invitation to slow down, enjoy the cool September breeze, and bid farewell to summer in a cozy and refined setting.

Cocktails, wines, and local delicacies

The evening centers on conviviality and the pleasure of a good drink. Visitors can enjoy:

  • Cocktails prepared on the spot;
  • A selection of red and white wines, showcasing the region's strong winemaking tradition;
  • Fresh fruit juices for a non-alcoholic alternative;
  • Small culinary delights that complete the tasting experience.

All of this takes place in a relaxed atmosphere, dedicated to the joy of meeting up and discovering the flavors of South Tyrol.

Naturno and the tradition of hospitality

Situated at the foot of the Stelvio National Park and overlooking the Val Venosta, Naturno is one of the sunniest villages in the Alps and a favorite destination for those seeking hiking, culture, and fine dining. Events like Last Summer Glow, organized by the Naturno Tourist Board, bring the town center to life and strengthen the bond between locals and visitors, showcasing the beauty of the village's streets and squares.
