Mountain Farming Traditions Festival 2026 in San Tomaso Agordino

For three days San Tomaso Agordino shows what mountain farming still produces. The Mountain Farming Traditions Festival brings together at the Arena 1082 the produce of high-altitude agriculture, demonstrations of old working techniques and Agordino cooking. The village sits at 1,082 metres — hence the name of its multi-purpose hall.

What you will find

At the heart of the festival are the products of mountain agriculture: what remains of an economy that survived here for centuries on steep pastures, tiny vegetable plots and short seasons. Alongside the stalls there are demonstrations of traditional crafts and processing — the best way to understand how much work goes into a cheese or a basket.

The food

The food stand is what wins over even casual visitors. Among the dishes named by the organisers:

• Casonziéi with pumpkin — the local filled pasta of the Agordino valleys, here in its sweet-and-savoury version
• Canederli in brodo (bread dumplings in broth) and barley soup
• Tripe and tocà da boia, a slow-cooked local dish
• Mountain cheeses, pendole (air-dried meat from the Agordino) and fortàie, spiral fritters

Getting there

San Tomaso Agordino is reached from the Val Cordevole main road, climbing towards Celat, where the municipal sports area is. The Arena 1082 is a covered building, so the festival goes ahead in the rain too.
