Celebrating in Schenna – and you’re right in the middle of it!
When you arrive in Schenna, you’ll quickly notice: here, life isn’t just lived – it’s celebrated with heart. Whether it’s small village festivals, traditional parades, or atmospheric music evenings, there are countless opportunities throughout the year to celebrate, laugh, and experience South Tyrolean hospitality up close. The traditional festivals are especially impressive, where locals march in festive attire, music bands parade through the streets, and old customs come alive – such as on the Feast of the Sacred Heart, Corpus Christi, or during the Thanksgiving Harvest Festival.
In addition, social evenings with live music, summer concerts in the open air, culinary events, or lively wine festivals invite you to enjoy warm evenings in good company. Whether you just want to listen, dance along, or raise a glass of South Tyrolean wine – in Schenna, you’re not just a spectator, you’re part of the event. So: keep your eyes open, join the fun, and enjoy – because in Schenna, celebrating is just part of the way of life.
Here and also on our social media, we present to our guests current events in the vicinity of their vacation residence Antonya Apartments that they shouldn't miss.
