Trout Festival
The Giara stream trout, since 1968, in the Arroscia Valley
About Trout Festival
The valley's longest-running festival
In Rezzo, a village in the upper Arroscia Valley in the province of Imperia, the Trout Festival has been a tradition since 1968, the year of its first edition. It is the valley's longest-running event, symbolizing the bond between the community and the clear waters of the Giara stream.
The trout takes center stage
Local fishermen celebrate the Giara trout, served fresh at Giardini La Pagoda along with Ligurian dishes offered à la carte and local wines. The festival, organized by the Pro Loco of Rezzo, combines the promotion of a freshwater product with the conviviality of a village festival.
A regional recognition
The event is included among the Authentic Ligurian Events, the brand of the Liguria Region that promotes festivals with a solid historical foundation and a strong connection to local traditions. An unmissable stop for those who want to discover the authenticity of the Imperia hinterland in the summer.
Trout Festival — edition 2026
For 2026, the Rezzo Trout Festival reaches its 54th edition, scheduled for July 18 and included in the regional calendar of Authentic Ligurian Events. At Giardini La Pagoda, local fishermen and the Pro Loco offer fresh Giara stream trout with an à la carte menu of Ligurian dishes and local wines.
