About March Festival

With the arrival of spring, Castello dell'Acqua celebrates its March Festival, a tradition that in 2026 reaches its twentieth edition. A day designed for gathering at the Parish Centre of the village amidst stalls, activities, and convivial moments: one of those community festivals that, far from large numbers, preserve the authentic spirit of the villages of the middle Valtellina, in the province of Sondrio. An anticipated event that marks the awakening of the village festival season.

Twenty years of a village tradition

The March Festival is now a well-established event in the life of Castello dell'Acqua, a small municipality overlooking the Rhaetian side of the middle Valtellina, in the province of Sondrio. In 2026, the event will reach its twentieth edition, a sign of rare continuity for such a small festival managed by the parish community.

Stalls, activities, and conviviality

The festival takes place at the Parish Centre on Via Degli Alpini and offers a simple and tested formula: stalls, activities for participants, and above all, convivial moments around the table, the heart of every Valtellina festival. It is an opportunity to gather at the end of winter, when mountain villages reopen the event season and communities come together again.

The spirit of Valtellina villages

In a valley where festivals mark the calendar better than any diary, the March Festival of Castello dell'Acqua well represents the most intimate and genuine dimension of a village festival: no large stages or crowds, but the pleasure of being together, sharing a meal, and supporting the parish's activities. Places are limited and booking is appreciated, confirming the event's intimate and family-friendly nature.
