About Potato Festival

Every autumn, the historic center of Ronzone, a small village in the Upper Val di Non in Trentino, celebrates mountain potatoes and seasonal flavors with the Potato and Autumn Flavors Festival. Organized by the Pro Loco Ronzone, the event features traditional dishes like gnocchi di patate smalzadi and tortei, local farm-to-table stalls, craft and flea markets, live music, and plenty of children's activities, marking the harvest season at the foot of the Brenta Dolomites.

The potato, star of the autumn festival in Ronzone

In the small village of Ronzone, nestled on the plateau of the Upper Val di Non in the autonomous province of Trento (Trentino-Alto Adige), the arrival of autumn has coincided for over twenty years with a highly anticipated community event: the Potato and Autumn Flavors Festival. A humble staple of the mountain peasant diet, the potato grown at these altitudes becomes the absolute star for an entire weekend, filling the village's historic center with scents, colors, and music.

Harvest flavors

Gastronomy is the heart of the festival. At the food stands set up by Pro Loco Ronzone, visitors can enjoy traditional Nonesa specialties based on potatoes: the essential gnocchi di patate smalzadi, fried tortei di patate, hot mountain dishes, and autumn desserts. Along the village streets, stalls offer local farm-to-table products, from mountain dairy cheeses to cured meats, and from Val di Non apples to fresh garden produce.

Markets, music, and fun

Beyond the excellent food, the event offers a rich entertainment program:

  • Craft and flea market featuring handmade goods and small antiques
  • Live music with bands and dance evenings hosted by DJs
  • Activities for children and families: inflatables, orienteering, face painting, games, and a pedal go-kart track
  • Cultural moments and village tours

Ronzone and its treasures

The festival is also the perfect opportunity to discover Ronzone, a village of just over five hundred inhabitants overlooking the Brenta Dolomites. Don't miss the Giardino della Rosa (Rose Garden), included since 2018 in the Great Italian Gardens circuit, featuring hundreds of organically grown rose varieties, and the church of Sant'Antonio. An autumn weekend that combines gastronomic tradition, nature, and conviviality in the heart of the Municipality of Ronzone and the Val di Non.
