Festa dell'Ascensione

The Festa dell'Ascensione in Baldissero Canavese celebrates its 50th anniversary from May 29 to June 7, 2026, confirming itself as one of the most anticipated events on the Piedmont festival calendar. Organized by the local Proloco with dedication and passion, this festival offers an unmissable opportunity to immerse yourself in the welcoming and authentic atmosphere that characterizes village celebrations throughout the region, where local gastronomy and shared entertainment remain the undisputed stars. Five decades of tradition mark this festival, which was founded with the goal of promoting local heritage and creating moments of community gathering. Over the years, the Festa dell'Ascensione has grown to attract thousands of visitors, becoming a symbol of the cultural and gastronomic identity of the Canavese territory. The beating heart of the festival is the prestigious gastronomic pavilion, a culinary excellence offering a varied menu to satisfy every palate: from classic Piedmont appetizers (vitello tonnato, rice salad, local cheeses) to refined first courses (tajarin, agnolotti, risotto), from grilled mains featuring local meats to traditional desserts (panna cotta, zabaione), all accompanied by a selection of quality wines and beers. Operating hours allow you to plan both weeknight dinners and family Sunday lunches, creating the perfect opportunity to rediscover the authentic flavors of Piedmont cuisine. But the Festa dell'Ascensione is far more than just food: the rich program includes live music performances from local and regional artists, sporting and recreational activities for children and adults, entertainment shows, and the classic Luna Park attractions that recreate the magical atmosphere of traditional festivals. It is the perfect blend of tradition and entertainment, an event celebrating half a century of history with the promise of new memories to share with the community.
