Polenta Festival in Brumano

Polenta takes centre stage in Brumano

The Polenta Festival takes place in Brumano, a small mountain municipality in the province of Bergamo, at the far end of Valle Imagna. The event celebrates one of the symbolic dishes of Lombard and Alpine cuisine, polenta, in a day of celebration that attracts lovers of good food and mountain traditions.

Authentic flavours and local producers

The heart of the day lies in the tastings of authentic polenta, prepared according to traditional recipes, and meetings with local producers who showcase the region's excellences. There are also moments of conviviality and recreational activities designed for families, making the festival an event suitable for all ages.

Together with the Sagra del Quarantì

The Polenta Festival is organised in collaboration with the Sagra del Quarantì, a historic event in the Bergamo area, which in 2026 will celebrate its 16th edition. The festival represents a step in territorial enhancement that expands the network of events linked to the traditional flavours of the area, in a context of great natural charm amidst the Orobie Prealps.

Brumano and Valle Imagna

Brumano is one of the smallest and most charming municipalities in the province of Bergamo, perched at the far end of Valle Imagna, at the foot of the Resegone. Here, polenta is not just another dish: it is the symbol of a mountain food culture made of simple, genuine products, preserved by local families and businesses. The festival thus becomes an opportunity to rediscover this gastronomic heritage and, at the same time, to promote an area often overlooked by major tourist routes. Between tastings, meetings with producers, and festive moments, the day invites visitors to slow down and savour the flavours and landscapes of the Orobie Prealps.
