Pro Loco Borgo Valsugana Chestnut Festival

An autumn celebration in the heart of Borgo Valsugana

When autumn paints the woods of the Valsugana valley, the Pro Loco of Borgo Valsugana brings the scent of roasted chestnuts to the town square. The Chestnut Festival is one of the most anticipated events of the season: an afternoon of flavors, music, and tradition that transforms Piazza Alcide Degasperi, in the town's historic center, into a meeting point for families, curious visitors, and fans of seasonal produce.

Roasted chestnuts, mulled wine, and seasonal flavors

The heart of the festival is, naturally, the roasted chestnuts, prepared on the spot and served hot, best enjoyed with a glass of steaming mulled wine. Around the braziers, you can soak up the convivial atmosphere typical of Trentino chestnut festivals, where the taste of the chestnuts blends with local products and seasonal specialties offered by the stalls set up in the square.

Music, entertainment, and tradition

Beyond the tastings, the Chestnut Festival offers music and entertainment throughout the afternoon, making the event a great gathering spot for the entire community. It is the expression of an autumn tradition that in Trentino, and particularly in the Valsugana valley, celebrates the chestnut harvest among the squares and arcades of the villages, at the foot of the woods surrounding the valley.

In Borgo Valsugana, Trentino

The event takes place in Borgo Valsugana, in the province of Trento, a town nestled along the Brenta River and the main center of the eastern Valsugana valley. Organized by the local Pro Loco, the Chestnut Festival is part of a rich calendar of events that the association dedicates to promoting the village and its traditions, ranging from markets to cultural and gastronomic exhibitions.
