Selvetta Summer Festival

The summer festival of Selvetta

The Selvetta Summer Festival is a village festival that takes place in July in the hamlet of Selvetta, part of the Municipality of Forcola, in the province of Sondrio, in the heart of Valtellina. The event, hosted at the Selvetta sports field, is a moment of celebration and gathering for the local community, with typical cuisine and a convivial atmosphere.

The flavors of Valtellina

The absolute protagonist of the festival is the typical Valtellina cuisine, with specialties that tell the gastronomic tradition of this alpine valley. The evenings, which generally start around 7:30 PM, offer local dishes in a familiar and welcoming setting. It is an opportunity to savor authentic mountain cuisine, far from tourist circuits and close to the authenticity of village festivals.

The Pro Loco La Caürga

The event is organized by the Pro Loco La Caürga of Forcola, an association active in the area since 1984 and committed to promoting the traditions and community life of the town. The very name of the association, linked to the dialect and the Valtellina territory, testifies to the deep roots of this reality in local culture. The Summer Festival is one of the initiatives with which the Pro Loco keeps the identity of Selvetta and Forcola alive.
