The 'Sondna Kirschta' is the traditional village festival (Kirchtagsfest) held in Campo Tures, celebrating historic customs and the warm hospitality typical of South Tyrol. Organized with the support of the local Sch眉tzen company, this community gathering is deeply rooted in local heritage. One of the festival's most iconic moments is the raising of the 'Kirchtagmichl', a symbolic effigy placed atop a towering tree trunk. True to custom, the event also features the traditional overnight watch of the pole to prevent youth from neighboring villages from stealing the mascot. Visitors can also enjoy lively musical entertainment and a culinary lineup inspired by classic South Tyrolean and Bavarian dishes, such as crispy roast chicken and sausages, served with local beer and wine.
