Rovetta Potato Festival

The Rovetta potato, a mountain excellence

In Rovetta, in the province of Bergamo, the potato is no ordinary vegetable: the Rovetta potato, grown on the plateau at the foot of Presolana, is an iconic product that the Potato Festival celebrates every September. The event, organized by Pro Loco, transforms the town's historic center into a grand journey of flavors, traditions, and folklore.

Parades in costume and folklore

One of the most evocative moments is the historical parade in period costume, which winds through the town, recalling the peasant life of the past. It is accompanied by folk groups, dialect theater, and music, in a program that blends the taste of good food with the memory of local traditions. The festival is also an opportunity to discover the area's crafts in the markets along Via Fantoni.

From field to table

The gastronomic heart is, of course, the potato, the star of the stalls and tastings, from aperitifs with polenta and cheese to traditional dishes. A precious element of the festival is the opportunity to buy potatoes directly from Rovetta farmers, fostering a direct relationship between growers and consumers that values the entire territory.

A festival for the entire Val Seriana

The Rovetta Potato Festival is one of those events that tell the soul of a mountain village: the connection to the land, popular traditions, and the sense of community. For those visiting Val Seriana in early autumn, it is an authentic appointment to discover the flavors and folklore of the province of Bergamo.
