Potato Festival of Piantedo
The Pro Loco's July feast, with potatoes in all their forms
About Potato Festival
The Potato Festival of Piantedo
Piantedo is the municipality that opens Valtellina coming from Lake Como, at the entrance of the valley in the province of Sondrio. Here, every July, the Pro Loco of Piantedo organizes the Potato Festival, one of the most popular gastronomic festivals in the lower valley, now in its eighth edition in 2025.
The protagonist is the potato, featured in numerous preparations: from gnocchi with ragù or with bresaola and casera cheese flakes, to octopus with potatoes, to taroz, potato muffins, and roast beef with fries. The evening, held under the covered marquee at the Feste Area in via Garibaldi, includes an afternoon happy hour, dinner, and live music, as well as activities like the water volleyball tournament.
The festival is paired with the Beer Festival, which is held the previous evening with its tenth edition in 2025: two consecutive events that make Piantedo, at the entrance to the province of Sondrio, a reference point for Valtellina's gastronomic summer.
Potato Festival — edition 2026
For the summer of 2026, the Pro Loco of Piantedo will again host the Potato Festival, now a well-established event on the July calendar. The proven formula includes an evening under the covered marquee at the Feste Area, with an afternoon happy hour, a potato-based dinner, and live music, as well as side activities like the water volleyball tournament.
As tradition dictates, the previous evening is dedicated to the Beer Festival. The precise date for the 2026 edition will be announced by the Pro Loco on its official channels in the weeks leading up to it.
