The Festa delle Castagne e del Marrone di San Zeno DOP returns to liven up autumn in San Zeno di Montagna. This gathering celebrates the signature fruit from the slopes of Monte Baldo, reaching the 54th edition of the Chestnut Festival and the 23rd edition of the exhibition dedicated to the prized PDO Marrone. The village center, and particularly Piazza Schena, hosts the market fair, dedicated pavilions, and traditional food stalls. Visitors can buy freshly harvested marroni directly from local growers and savor traditional specialties such as roasted chestnuts, hearty chestnut minestrone, Castanea craft beer, and original dishes crafted by local restaurateurs. The festival is further enriched by craft markets, cultural exhibits, live music, and the historic 'Marron d'Oro' contest, which rewards the season's finest chestnuts.
