The autumn of the Vicenza mountains among Posina potatoes, gnocchi, and chestnuts
The Market Exhibition of Typical Local Products is the autumn event of Posina, a mountain municipality in the upper Vicenza valley in the province of Vicenza, nestled at the foot of the Pasubio massif. Organized by the Pro Loco Posina, the event traditionally takes place on the last Sunday of October and celebrates genuine mountain products in a zero-kilometer market.
The heart of the day is the local product market, open from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, where you can find vegetables, fruit, honey, cheeses, and above all the famous Posina potato, a recognized excellence of the valley. The stalls showcase mountain agriculture made up of small productions and care for the territory.
From 11:30 AM, the food stand opens, featuring Posina gnocchi, prepared with the local potato. In the afternoon, from 3:00 PM, the Alpini manage the traditional roasted chestnuts, while the day is enriched by the parade and the blessing of agricultural vehicles, a sign of the deep bond between the community and farm work.
More than just a fair, the Market Exhibition is a moment of identity for Posina and the entire valley: an opportunity to rediscover the rhythms and flavors of the Vicenza mountains, in a village that preserves Alpine traditions and high-quality agricultural productions.
The 2026 edition of the Market Exhibition of Typical Local Products in Posina is scheduled, as tradition dictates, for the last Sunday of October. The exact date will be confirmed by Pro Loco Posina in the weeks prior. The day celebrates the flavors of the Vicenza mountains, with the Posina potato as the star of the market and cuisine.
