Polenta Festival in Natz-Schabs: 08/12/2026

Taste polenta in all its variations

Polenta, also known as "Plentn" in the local dialect. The yellow maize semolina was and is a typical ingredient in South Tyrolean cuisine. At the Polenta Festival in Natz-Schabs we serve polenta in all variations: Sweet or savoury, as a side dish or main course. The large display cauldron with the bubbling yellow "Plent" attracts gourmets from all over the country. Musical entertainment and the farmers' market with regional products provide the perfect accompaniment.

The Polenta Festival takes place as part of the Summer night Event on Wednesday, 12 August 2026, from 7 pm in Natz.
