Sagra di Casignano (Casignano Food Festival)

The Sagra di Casignano is an unmissable opportunity for those who wish to immerse themselves in the authentic culinary traditions of Alto Adige. Celebrated on August 15th at the Locanda Alpina Dorfner in the small and picturesque hamlet of Casignano, in Montagna in the province of Bolzano, this village festival is a true treasure trove of Trentino flavors rooted in the most genuine local gastronomic culture. Starting from 10:00 in the morning, visitors can delight themselves with an extraordinary variety of regional delicacies: from steaming grills to hot dishes fresh from the kitchen, to typical sweets that represent the jewel in the crown of Alto Adige pastry-making. Among the must-try specialties are strauben, crispy and fragrant sweet fritters, and krapfen, fried pastries that win you over at first bite. Each recipe tells stories of generations who have passed down the secret of these unforgettable flavors. The convivial and family-friendly atmosphere is enhanced by live music from the '4er Musig di Montagna' quartet, which accompanies the entire day with traditional melodies. The outdoor tables create an authentic communal experience, where generations gather around the table to celebrate the flavors of the territory. In this hamlet of Lower Alto Adige, the Sagra di Casignano confirms itself year after year as one of the most important events for those who want to experience an authentic village festival, where food and music meet to celebrate the cultural identity of a territory rich in history and tradition.
