Festivals and traditions are the perfect way to discover the vibrant soul of Valbelluna, a valley rich in local flavors, customs, and heritage. These events allow you to savor seasonal products right where they’re grown and make your vacation truly unforgettable with unique, characteristic experiences.
The year is dotted with local events, from patron saints’ days to village fairs. Each small hamlet holds a unique treasure trove of its own.
Beyond its natural and cultural heritage, one of the most important assets of this area is the wide array of groups, associations, and committees dedicated to preserving the folk traditions of the valley’s villages. Thanks to their efforts, Valbelluna comes alive with a thousand colors, its towns fill with joy, and the community gathers for shared meals.
These are great opportunities to meet locals, share a greeting, and connect in a moment of pure joy. Don’t miss the chance to taste the flavors of the Dolomites, especially at festivals dedicated to traditional food products, like the Antica Fiera di San Matteo, the Fiera di San Martino, the Festa del Miele (Honey Fest), Mele a Mel (Apple Fest), A tavola nel Feltrino: il Fagiolo di Lamon (Bean Fest), the Festa dell’Uva (Grape Fest), the Festa dei Moroni (Chestnuts Fest), the Festa della Zucca Santa Bellunese (Pumpkin Fest), the Fiera della Mela Prussiana (Apple Fest), and many others!
These events are enlivened by food and craft markets, as well as numerous folkloristic shows, often with ancient origins, like the Fiera delle Anime, linked to the religiosity and alpine traditions that are fundamental to the local culture.
