Celebrate the 140th edition of the historic Festa dell'Uva in Merano! This traditional Grape Festival takes place during the third weekend of October, perfectly timed with the grape harvest and apple picking season. Enjoy delicious food, fine wine, and lively traditional music and dances from South Tyrolean bands filling Merano's squares. Sunday is the highlight, featuring a grand parade of allegorical floats, including the famous "Corona di Mele" (Apple Crown) and "Kundschafter" (a massive 300 kg grape cluster).
