Chainsaws roar, wooden sculptures are created, people stroll around in cowboy boots, line dancers perform their routines, market stalls spring up like mushrooms, and the aroma of charcoal grills wafts from afar.

Chainsaws roar, wooden sculptures are created, people stroll around in cowboy boots, line dancers perform their routines, market stalls spring up like mushrooms, and the aroma of charcoal grills reaches you from afar. The Country Festival transforms the quaint village of Sonogno into a Wild West saloon for a day. If the sound of hillbilly music, typically featuring banjo, mandolin, fiddle, harmonica, and straightforward lyrics, makes you want to dance, then this is the place for you. Howdy!

Admission is free.

The event will be canceled in case of bad weather.
