Illasi Terra d'Olivi 2026 is the festival dedicated to extra virgin olive oil and the hills of the Val d'Illasi. The calendar opens on Sunday 25 October with the tenth Camminata tra gli olivi (Walk among the olive trees), starting from the Frantoio Ballarini, and continues until the end of November with tastings, meetings, a farmers' market and workshops for children. Among the scheduled events are the Olio in Camper gathering in Piazza Libertà, the meeting with Cardinal Mario Zenari on the theme of the olive tree as a symbol of peace, the presentation of the Casato del Garda and the Festa del Ringraziamento with the parade of agricultural machinery, the mass in the parish church and lunch at the Casa della Gioventù. Throughout November, the new oil of Illasi appears on the menus of local restaurants.
