Saints Peter and Paul Patronal Festival
Four days of country-style festivities at Parco Aoni, by the lake in Calceranica
About Saints Peter and Paul Festival
A popular festival on the shores of Calceranica
The Saints Peter and Paul Patronal Festival is one of the most cherished summer events in Calceranica al Lago, a small town overlooking Lake Caldonazzo in the Trentino region. The festival combines the religious significance of the patronal feast, dedicated to the apostles Peter and Paul, with a traditional country fair that enlivens Parco Aoni on Via degli Aoni for four days.
Trentino cuisine and conviviality
The heart of the festival is its gastronomic offering, with Trentino culinary specialties served every evening under the park's marquee. The menu features carne salada, porchetta, polenta, lucanica sausage, and traditional "pesatei," all enjoyed in the convivial atmosphere that has always defined this event. Admission is free, and the food court is open throughout the festival.
Music, karaoke, and entertainment
The program alternates between musical evenings, karaoke, and entertainment hosted by Radio Web Show. There are also bouncy castles and activities designed for children, making the festival a perfect destination for families, young people, and tourists alike. Organized for over six years by GS Valsugana ASD in collaboration with Radio Web Show, the event aims to engage all generations while preserving the authentic spirit of local tradition.
Religious celebrations
Alongside the country fair, Sunday is dedicated to religious observances in honor of the patron saints Peter and Paul, with Holy Mass held in the parish church. The day concludes with a traditional market animating the town's central streets.
An event in the heart of Valsugana
Set on the shores of Lake Caldonazzo, the Patronal Festival of Calceranica al Lago is a wonderful opportunity to discover the hospitality of the Valsugana valley and enjoy a festive evening in a stunning natural setting in Trentino-Alto Adige.
