Saint Anne Festival

The Saint Anne Festival in Rabbi

In the heart of Val di Rabbi, a side valley of Val di Sole in the Province of Trento, the Saint Anne Festival is one of the most cherished summer events. Every July 26th, the community of the Municipality of Rabbi gathers to honor Saint Anne, mother of the Virgin Mary, in a celebration that weaves together religious observance, a village fair, and the traditions of the Trentino mountains.

Markets and Craftsmanship

The afternoon comes alive with artisan markets: stalls offer local handicrafts, traditional valley products, and the genuine flavors of this corner of Trentino-Alto Adige. It is the perfect opportunity to discover the work of Val di Sole artisans and take home an authentic souvenir, ranging from wooden objects and textiles to mountain gastronomic specialties.

Dancing and Popular Tradition

The heart of the festival is the traditional dancing performed by local folk groups: the famous Sautamartini (Sauta Martini) and the Val di Sole Folk Group bring the dances and costumes that safeguard the valley's memory to the town square. The choreography in traditional dress, live music, and convivial atmosphere involve both residents and tourists in a moment of authentic community celebration.

An event in the heart of Val di Rabbi
