Festa delle Castagne e Marrone di San Zeno DOP 2026 in San Zeno di Montagna

On the slopes of Monte Baldo, San Zeno di Montagna celebrates its signature product with the 51st Festa delle Castagne and the 20th Festa del Marrone di San Zeno DOP, the protected-origin sweet chestnut grown in the village’s chestnut groves. An autumn fixture that draws visitors from across Lake Garda every year, with stalls, roasted chestnuts and local produce.

The square offers roasted and boiled chestnuts, typical mountain dishes and live music. A festival suited to families and anyone after a genuine autumn atmosphere away from the lakeshore, with views over Monte Baldo and the Adige valley.
