Trentino Barbecue in Carisolo

Trentino Barbecue is an evening dedicated to fine food and conviviality held in the heart of Carisolo, in Piazza 2 Maggio, at the gateway to Val Rendena and the Adamello Brenta Nature Park. The initiative, promoted by the Municipality of Carisolo in collaboration with Trentino Marketing and supported by the local Pro Loco, offers a large open-air barbecue designed to highlight the traditional meats and agricultural products of the Trentino region.

Quality grilling rooted in the territory

The heart of the event is a masterfully prepared barbecue by local chefs and industry professionals, in collaboration with the Ballardini butcher shop and other renowned local food producers. The selection of high-quality meats and the care taken in their preparation make this evening a perfect opportunity to discover and appreciate local delicacies in an informal and festive setting. The dishes are paired with regional wines and live music, transforming the square into a vibrant hub of community and celebration.

Between tradition and tourism promotion

The Trentino Barbecue was born as part of a wider project of the same name that hosts numerous events throughout Trentino during the summer, from the shores of Lake Garda to the Brenta Dolomites. In Carisolo, the evening strengthens the bond between tourism, gastronomic traditions, and local production, enriching the town's summer calendar with an event that unites flavors, food culture, and a sense of community.

Carisolo and Val Rendena

Located in the municipality of Carisolo, in the province of Trento and the Trentino-Alto Adige region, the event is set in a landscape of great natural beauty, serving as an access point to Val Rendena and the Nardis waterfalls. The alpine backdrop and the convivial atmosphere of the square make Trentino Barbecue a beloved appointment for both residents and the many tourists who visit the valley during the summer.
