Mathi Chestnut Festival: tradition and local heritage promotion

The celebration of the autumn fruit

The Mathi Chestnut Festival represents a moment of synthesis between rural culture and the community life of the area. Organized by the Pro Loco with the active collaboration of local associations and volunteers, the event acts as a showcase for Piedmontese seasonal excellence. The event turns the town center into an open-air stage, where agri-food tradition meets Piedmontese hospitality.

A journey through flavors and traditions

The beating heart of the festival is the distribution of roasted chestnuts, located at four strategic points in the village. This widespread distribution invites visitors to explore the urban fabric of Mathi, highlighting its scenic spots and the historical connection with mountain traditions. Alongside the chestnut, the undisputed protagonist, the gastronomic offer is structured through traditional cuisine proposals, with particular attention to polenta and stew, accompanied by selections of regional street food.

The exhibition area hosts producers from all over Piedmont, creating a direct point of contact between producers and the public. The program is enriched with performances by various sports associations, which offer practical demonstrations along the streets of the town. Musical accompaniment defines the atmosphere of the day, emphasizing the convivial nature of the autumn gathering.

Spaces for children

The event pays specific attention to younger visitors through a dedicated area. Activities include inflatables, face painting sessions, and the reproduction of traditional folk games, designed to stimulate socialization through play. The integration of these activities into the festival context allows for a transversal enjoyment of the event, making it accessible to a heterogeneous audience.
