Now in its 52nd year, the gathering of the musical bands is being organised this year by the Fénis Philharmonic Society and will take place from 31 May to 6 June 2026 in the picturesque village of Fénis.
The event, held in a different municipality each year, brings together bands from across the Aosta Valley, offering a packed programme of concerts, parades, performances and social gatherings.
The event celebrates the tradition of marching bands and represents an important opportunity for the cultural and tourist promotion of the region, involving residents and visitors alike in a festive and communal atmosphere.
To mark the occasion, on Friday 29 May at 6.00 pm, an exhibition will be inaugurated in the Salone Polivalente in Loc. Tzanté de Bouva to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Fénis Philharmonic Society, organised by Fénis Primary School and the MAV – Museum of Aosta Valley Crafts in Fénis.
