About Taragna Polenta Festival
The kingdom of taragna polenta
The Taragna Polenta Festival is the great gastronomic festival of Stabello, a hamlet in the municipality of Zogno, in the province of Bergamo. Dedicated to taragna polenta — polenta enriched with typical local cheeses and butter — it takes place in September over two weekends at the parish sports field, under the covered structure.
The flavors of the mountains
The absolute star is taragna, served with the main dishes of mountain cuisine:
- wild boar and roe deer;
- spit roasts and sausages;
- the famous 'el pincia' spit roast, now the second most requested dish after taragna.
The festival is open every evening from 7:00 PM to midnight.
A tradition that attracts thousands of food lovers

For the occasion, the center of Stabello is closed to traffic. It is one of the most famous gastronomic festivals in the Lombardy Region.
