Tacchinando by Night - La sagra del tacchino alla canzanese

Among the hills of Teramo rises a celebration that honors local gastronomic excellence with unusual and fascinating protagonists. In Canzano, from July 22 to 27, 2026, Tacchinando by Night showcases tacchino alla canzanese, a dish that embodies the culinary identity of the territory, accompanied by an exceptional guest: sturgeon, raised locally according to time-honored traditions. This is not merely a food festival, but a genuine journey through the authentic flavors of Abruzzo, where every recipe tells a story of patience and dedication.

Slowly poached turkey with aromatic herbs, served cold in aspic, represents the delicacy of local cuisine, while sturgeon appears in roasted, braised, or smoked versions, offering a fascinating contrast of flavors and textures. Alongside these main dishes, the festival celebrates the best of Teramo's culinary tradition: generous timbales, seasonal vegetables, homemade desserts, and local wines that enhance each course with their fruity and mineral notes.

Tacchinando is far more than a gastronomic showcase. Musical performances, chef meet-and-greets with enthusiasts, guided tastings, and the contagious energy of a community that welcomes visitors with pride transform this festival into a cultural event celebrating the territory's identity. A celebration where gastronomy becomes a universal language of sharing and belonging.
