The Festa della Transumanza di Bressanvido, now in its 28th edition as part of the Transumando programme, celebrates the traditional return of cattle herds down to the valley from the alpine pastures of Piana di Marcesina after a trek of approximately 90 kilometres. Organised by the Pro Loco of Bressanvido alongside the Pagiusco family, the festival showcases a rural and cultural tradition officially recognized as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. The highlight of the festival takes place on Sunday, 27 September 2026, with the arrival of the herd scheduled for 3:30 PM along Via San Benedetto. Another iconic moment of the day is the ceremonial cutting of Italy's largest wheel of Asiago cheese, weighing over 1,300 kg, produced by Latterie Vicentine. Throughout the day, visitors can also enjoy a vibrant street market set up along the SP 51 road, circus performances, family entertainment, a lively food court, evening live music, as well as educational conferences, workshops, and book presentations focusing on local culture and the environment.
