When is the next village festival?
Prossima: PROS-see-mah. Stress on the first syllable. Means 'next' in time.
At the end of a festival when you've had a great time and want to plan a return. Shows genuine interest in the community and its calendar.
Quando è means 'when is'. La prossima sagra is 'the next festival'. Del paese means 'of the village'. A forward-looking, enthusiastic question that locals love to answer.

Torneremo per la prossima edizione!
We'll come back for the next edition!
Edizione — edition. Implies the festival is a recurring event.
Italy has festivals in every season — spring sees Easter pageants and flower festivals, summer explodes with patron saint days and musical events, autumn brings harvest festivals (castagne, tartufo, vino), and winter has Christmas markets and Carnevale. A visitor could plan an entire Italian calendar around local festivals alone.
