Temù Polenta Festival
Three gastronomic weekends in the heart of Alta Valle Camonica
About Polenta Festival
Polenta, the queen of the alpine table
In Alta Valle Camonica, at an altitude of 1,150 meters, the municipality of Temù (province of Brescia) dedicates an entire festival to polenta, a signature dish of mountain cuisine. For three consecutive weekends, the town's restaurants transform polenta into a journey through traditional flavors, each with its own interpretation.
A shared menu among the restaurants
The heart of the event is a fixed menu at 25 euros (drinks excluded) offered by participating restaurants, each with a different pairing: from stew with eggs, mushrooms, and melted cheese to braised meat, from sausage to venison. This formula allows you to discover the versatility of polenta by visiting different establishments.
Markets and entertainment in the square
Alongside the dining, Piazza Pellegrinaggio hosts craft markets on weekends, open Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and entertainment shows for families. The event is organized by the Pro Loco of Temù, founded with the aim of preserving and enhancing the local culinary heritage by transforming it into a moment of community gathering.
Polenta Festival — edition 2026
The 2026 edition of the Polenta Festival enlivens Temù on the weekends of February 7-8, 14-15, and 21-22. Six participating restaurants each offer their own version of the dish, with a fixed menu at 25 euros (drinks excluded) and a promotion active from January 29 to February 8.
