Festival · July 31, 2026 – August 9, 2026 · Castellano di Villa Lagarina (TN)
The Castelfolk Festival is a beloved summer event that perfectly blends music, culture, and local food and wine into a unique experience. It's built on three pillars: 'mind' (engaging debates and themed seminars), 'heart' (live concerts and performances), and 'taste' (showcasing organic and typical Trentino products). In 2026, the festival celebrates its 25th anniversary with free admission, running daily from 6:00 PM to 1:00 AM.
Indulge in authentic Trentino cuisine, with a special focus on Umbrian specialties on Saturday, August 8th. Expect delicious local dishes and traditional flavors throughout the festival.
