About Carnival Polenta Feast
Carnival at the Table
The Carnival Polenta Feast is one of the unmissable events of the Saint-Vincent Carnival, in the province of Aosta. During the carnival season, the spa town in the Aosta Valley comes alive with masks and colors, and the distribution of polenta becomes an occasion for residents and visitors to gather in the square.
Polenta and Small Sausages in Piazza Aosta
The event takes place in the heart of the town, in Piazza Aosta, in front of the Town Hall: here, polenta accompanied by small sausages, a symbolic dish of alpine cuisine, is distributed in a convivial atmosphere that combines gastronomy, tradition, and community celebration. It is a popular and accessible moment, designed to involve everyone, young and old, masked or simply curious.
A Tradition of the Aosta Valley Carnival
The polenta feast is part of the rich calendar of the Saint-Vincent Carnival, which includes the parade of the Children's Carnival and other initiatives, and connects with the tradition of Aosta Valley polenta feasts spread throughout the region's municipalities during carnival time. A simple dish, polenta, thus becomes a pretext to strengthen the bond with the territory and its peasant roots.
