Edition 2025 — The Polentata

The 28th edition of The Polentata took place on Sunday, August 3, 2025, in Piazza IV Novembre in Villavallelonga. Organized by the Pro Loco, the polenta festival enlivened the Marsica village for the entire day: mornings featured sweet and savory fried pizzas and drawings for children, which were displayed in the afternoon on the square's staircase; from 7:00 PM, the grand distribution of polenta with sauce and sausage took place with live music. Free admission.

The 28th edition of The Polentata confirmed the event's deep roots in the Villavallelonga community. On Sunday, August 3, 2025, Piazza IV Novembre hosted the full day of festivities organized by the Pro Loco: the morning was dedicated to fried pizzas, both sweet and savory, and to children's drawings, which were then displayed on the square's staircase in the afternoon. From 7:00 PM, the distribution of traditional polenta with sauce and sausage began, accompanied by live music that animated the evening in the village at the foot of the Abruzzo National Park. A free event that, after nearly thirty years, remains one of the symbols of the Marsica summer.
