The Sagra della Castagna celebrates its 35th edition in Angoli, a charming hamlet in the municipality of Serrastretta. Organized by the 'Tommaso Mazzei' Cultural and Theater Association, this festival aims to showcase local culture and the rich chestnut-growing heritage of the Calabrian mountains. The schedule features a wide range of outdoor adventures to discover ancient, monumental chestnut groves. A highlight is 'La via dei patriarchi', a 13-kilometer circular trekking route followed by a communal lunch, along with additional nature hikes organized over the following days. The village comes alive during the grand finale weekend as historic alleyways fill with food and wine stalls offering traditional 'ruselle' (roasted chestnuts) and specialty chestnut dishes, accompanied by folk music, art exhibitions, and cultural discussions.
