Cunsada in the square in Zorzone

In 2024, on Sunday 29 December, the Cunsada in the square was organised by the Gruppo Giovani Zorzone: from 12 noon in piazza Caduti del Lavoro, the former piazza Rossini, polenta cunsada in limited portions, with booking advised, salamelle, cheese and salami also to take away; in the afternoon music with accordion and guitar, mulled wine, hot chocolate and panettone, in a heated room where tables could be booked.

On Sunday 28 December 2025 the format was the same, with booking the cunsada now compulsory. Bookings were made on WhatsApp to the numbers published in the local press listings; for December 2026 there is no announcement yet.

The Gruppo Giovani Zorzone also appears at other times of the year. In December 2023, at the Immaculate Conception markets in via Perletti, it served bread and salamella, chisöl flatbread, tea, mulled wine and hot chocolate; in summer 2026 it organised with the Pro Loco the Festa in contrada of 18 July, a walking dinner through the streets of the old quarter behind the church with live music and markets, and with the Museum the Aperimuseo of 23 August, a special opening with an aperitif and unseen interviews with people who worked in the mines.

Piazza Caduti del Lavoro is one of the stops of Arriva's S50e shuttle, which climbs from piazza Tiraboschi to Zorzone; but the shuttle runs only on weekdays, and the Cunsada is on a Sunday. So you drive up: from the main village you leave the provincial road at the Piazzale degli Alpini and take via Capriana, about 4.8 kilometres of narrow road with hairpin bends to the Zorzone church. In Zorzone there are public car parks near the church and along via Funivia.

In December, in the 1991-2020 averages of the ERA5 reanalysis for Zorzone, the minimum is about −5 °C and the maximum 4 °C, with about 40 centimetres of fresh snow in the month in an average winter: the road to the hamlet may be snowy. Lunch is in the square, the afternoon indoors in the heated room. If you want the cunsada, book early, because the portions are few.

On the same day, in 2025, the main village had the «Natale in famiglia» markets and at 9 pm the band's Christmas concert; in 2024, on the evening of the Cunsada, the Vandullo hamlet hosted the living nativity.
