About San Francesco Fair

The San Francesco Fair brings the historic center of Tiarno di Sotto, a village in the Municipality of Ledro, to life for a single autumn day dedicated to the typical products and dishes of the Ledro Valley. Organized by the Pro Loco, it combines a traditional morning market, a gastronomic tour of local recipes, live music, and a DJ aperitif. It is part of the Garda Trentino "Month of Taste," a festival dedicated to local flavors and products.

A fair with deep roots

The San Francesco Fair is a long-standing event held in Tiarno di Sotto, a village in the Municipality of Ledro, in the province of Trento, in the heart of the Trentino-Alto Adige region. Originally established as an annual market and community celebration, it has been revitalized over the years by the Pro Loco Tiarno di Sotto, transforming it into a true celebration of the typical products and dishes of the Ledro Valley.

The day's program

The historic center of Tiarno di Sotto, closed to traffic, comes alive from morning until evening with a rich calendar of events in Piazza San Giovanni Bosco and the village streets:

  • Traditional market from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM, featuring exhibitors of local products, crafts, and regional specialties;
  • Musical entertainment from 11:30 AM, accompanying the morning festivities;
  • Gastronomic tour starting at noon, a tasting journey through local traditional recipes (booking recommended);
  • DJ aperitif from 6:00 PM, concluding the day in a convivial atmosphere.

Climbing the bell tower

One of the most captivating experiences is the opportunity to climb the village bell tower for free, with guided tours at 10:00 AM, 2:00 PM, and 4:00 PM: from the top, you can enjoy a unique view of the Ledro Valley and the surrounding mountains.

Flavors and traditions of the Ledro Valley

The San Francesco Fair is the ideal occasion to discover the gastronomic identity of this corner of Garda Trentino, featuring agricultural products, traditional peasant dishes, and seasonal specialties. The event is part of the Month of Taste, the autumn festival in Garda Trentino dedicated to the flavors, products, and artisanal excellence of the region.

An event for the whole family

With its market, music, great food, and bell tower visits, the fair offers a pleasant day for families, curious visitors, and food and wine enthusiasts. It is an authentic opportunity to experience the community of Tiarno di Sotto and the atmosphere of a traditional Trentino village fair.
