Sagra Mare & Monti

The Sagra Mare & Monti in Montesilvano celebrates an extraordinary milestone: its 25th edition in 2026. A quarter century dedicated to celebrating Abruzzo's finest food and wine heritage, continuing to attract thousands of visitors from across Italy and standing as one of the region's most anticipated summer events. This festival perfectly blends authentic culinary tradition with quality entertainment, offering a captivating journey through genuine flavors that tell the story of Abruzzo. What makes Sagra Mare & Monti unique is its ability to simultaneously showcase both the coastal seafaring heritage and mountain culinary treasures, creating a complete territorial narrative: from Adriatic fish dishes to Apennine mountain recipes, all in one unforgettable experience. The four-day program (August 7-10, 2026) pairs carefully curated food offerings with a rich lineup of live music, performances, and entertainment for all ages. This is far more than a traditional festival where you simply taste local dishes—it's a true recreational, cultural, and sensory experience that transforms the Pescarese summer into a moment of conviviality, discovery, and collective celebration. The organizers have thoughtfully planned for families, with dedicated spaces and initiatives for children and teenagers. From food areas with themed exhibition stands to performances for young audiences, from live music to relaxation zones for parents, the event confirms itself as inclusive and welcoming. Every visitor will have the opportunity to discover or rediscover the gastronomic roots of this fascinating region, taking home unforgettable flavors and memories.
