Pro Loco de Suàn Festival

The town festival of Ziano di Fiemme

The Pro Loco de Suàn Festival is the most anticipated community event in Ziano di Fiemme, a small town in the Fiemme Valley, Trentino. Organized by the young Pro Loco de Suàn association, the event transforms the gardens of Villa Flora into a large, open-air celebration space, open to all with free admission. "Suàn" is the local dialect name for Ziano di Fiemme: the festival was created specifically to celebrate the town's identity and traditions, bringing together residents, families, and local associations.

A community afternoon that lasts until nightfall

The day begins in the early afternoon and continues non-stop until late at night. The typical program weaves together culture, play, and conviviality: guided tours of the botanical garden at Villa Flora, games and workshops designed for children, cooking shows dedicated to wild mountain herbs, and presentations of the association's activities. As evening falls, the event features live music with multiple bands alternating on stage, a prize raffle, and finally a DJ set that keeps participants dancing until the night is through.

Flavors and traditions of the Fiemme Valley

A major highlight is the local gastronomy: the bar and kitchen service offers traditional Trentino dishes, "da magnar e bever" (to eat and drink) as they say around here, showcasing products from local dairies, cooperatives, and businesses that support the initiative. The festival is also an opportunity to sign up or renew your Pro Loco membership and to participate in the "de noialtri" quiz, a team challenge based on local dialect and culture.

Villa Flora, the heart of the community

The setting is Villa Flora, a historic residence in Ziano di Fiemme now managed by the social cooperative Le Rais in collaboration with the Municipality and the Historical Museum Foundation of Trentino—a symbolic place where "the community flourishes." Nestled between the Lagorai mountain range and the Cornon massif, within the territory of the Magnifica Comunità di Fiemme, the festival is a perfect stop for those who want to experience the Fiemme Valley away from the main tourist circuits, immersed in the authenticity of a true village event.
