Festa del marrone

Castione, the picturesque village nestled at the foot of Monte Baldo, transforms into a golden realm every September dedicated to one of Trentino's most treasured delicacies: the marrone chestnut. The Festa del Marrone is far more than a simple gastronomic celebration; it's an opportunity to immerse yourself in the traditions and culture of a territory where chestnuts have represented an extraordinary natural and culinary heritage for centuries. During the two-day festival, visitors will be seduced by the unmistakable aromas of freshly roasted chestnuts, by the sweet recipes of local tradition, and by craft beers and liqueurs infused with marrone that showcase the creativity of local artisans. Every bite is a sensory experience celebrating the quality and authenticity of this prized fruit, transforming the simple autumn harvest into an undisputed star of the table. Beyond gastronomy, the festival offers a complete and engaging experience: charming local markets featuring regional products, guided tours through historic chestnut groves to discover traditional cultivation techniques, folk performances with live music, craft workshops, and walks through the beauty of autumn forests. The magical atmosphere created by the colors of the leaves and the warmth of the fires transforms Castione into the perfect gathering place for families, hikers, and food enthusiasts, where nature, tradition, and conviviality come together. **Practical Information** Date: September 2026 (September 12-13) Hours: 10:00-23:00 (both days) Location: Historic center of Castione Admission: Free | Tastings available for purchase (menu from €15 onwards) Parking: Available in the main square and surrounding areas **How to Get There** By car: Mezzocorona exit on the A22, follow signs to Castione (15 km) By train: Mezzocorona Station, then free festival shuttle every 30 minutes By bus: Local line from Trento, stops in the town center **Don't miss this authentic experience of Trentino flavors and traditions!** Book your weekend in Castione and celebrate the marrone chestnut with us.
