A tribute to mountain life between tradition, nature and authentic flavors

If you are looking for summer events in the mountains, the Festa dei Pastori in San Sebastiano, in the heart of Alpe Cimbra, is an unmissable event. This event celebrates the ancient art of shepherding, a profession made of sacrifice, dedication and deep respect for the mountains. A unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the centuries-old traditions of breeders, learn about their rhythms and discover the genuine flavors that arise from an indissoluble bond with nature.

An authentic experience between tradition and nature

Among the events in Trentino, the Festa dei Pastori represents a journey into the roots of Alpine culture. Walking through the streets of the village, you can admire demonstrations of ancient crafts, such as milking and processing milk to produce butter and mountain cheeses. The dairies smell of fresh milk and aged cheeses, while the cheesemakers transform this gift of the mountains into authentic delights for the palate.
Music, folklore and traditional flavours

The party is a must: the sound of the accordion and bagpipes will accompany moments of joy and sharing. Guests will be able to taste typical dishes of the Alpine tradition, such as steaming polenta accompanied by local cheeses. The warm and welcoming atmosphere of this event brings centuries-old customs back to life, bringing together the past and present.

Experience the magic of the mountains

The Festa dei Pastori is more than just an event: it is an opportunity to rediscover the deep bond between man and the mountains, to introduce the younger ones to the beauty and importance of life in the mountain pastures. Among the events in Trentino not to be missed, this appointment is perfect for those who want to immerse themselves in the local culture and live an authentic experience.
We are waiting for you in San Sebastiano, among the scents of fresh grass and the warmth of a community that still lives in respect of its ancient traditions.
