About Nomi Festival
The village patronal feast
The Nomi Festival is the most important and highly anticipated event of the year for the small town of Nomi, in the province of Trento, nestled in the heart of the Vallagarina valley along the Adige axis. It is the patronal feast dedicated to Our Lady of Consolation, traditionally celebrated on the last Sunday of August. Around this Sunday, the village experiences three days of festivities that combine religious devotion with conviviality and popular entertainment.
Three days of music, food, and tradition
The festival weekend transforms the historic centre of Nomi into a vibrant celebration space. Friday kicks off the event with dinner and a rock-themed evening; Saturday is the most playful day, featuring the traditional soapy football tournament in Piazza Springa and, in the evening, a grand dance orchestra; Sunday, the religious heart of the feast, features the solemn Holy Mass in the parish church, followed in the afternoon by the solemn festival procession winding through the village streets, accompanied by the Pomarolo Band and a subsequent band concert. The day concludes with dinner and a final grand dance.
The restaurant and the Nomi Iniziative volunteers
The beating heart of the event is the large festival restaurant, with hundreds of indoor and outdoor seats, where visitors can enjoy typical Trentino dishes alongside a wine bar offering tastings. The entire organizational machine is the result of the volunteer work of the Nomi Iniziative consortium, born from over twenty years of commitment by local associations: Hunters, Pro Loco, Sports Union, Alpini, Musicandolarte, and Arci, who collaborate every year to set up structures, the stage, the dance floor, and the kitchen.
A defining event for the Vallagarina valley
More than just a food and wine festival, the Nomi event is a moment of identity that brings the entire community together: the procession with Our Lady of Consolation, the brass bands, games for children, and dance evenings reflect the tradition of Trentino village festivals, where popular faith and social life intertwine. For those visiting the Vallagarina valley at the end of summer, the Nomi Festival is an opportunity to experience the authenticity of a Trentino village in celebration.
