On Saturday, May 9, 2026, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, the town square in Sterzing transforms into a vibrant meeting place for food lovers.
The first ever Sterzing Krapfen Fest promises a memorable day celebrating local flavours, tasty treats, craftsmanship and an authentic Alpine atmosphere.
At the heart of it all are the local farmers from Sterzing, Pfitsch and Freienfeld, who prepare the traditional Sterzing krapfen and strauben fresh on site with great skill, passion and care. Visitors are welcomed to watch the magic unfold, enjoy the tempting smell and taste the specialties directly from the source. The culinary experience is complemented by local restaurants, which showcase a variety of krapfen, tirtln, and creative dishes – from classic to modern.
There is also plenty to discover beyond the food: market stands invite you to stroll, look, and shop. Here you can find small treats and lovely gift ideas - perfect with Mother's Day just around the corner. A musical accompaniment creates a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
A day of taste, tradition, and togetherness - ideal for everyone who loves good food and a truly special atmosphere.
