36ª Sagra della Patata di Zungri (36th Zungri Potato Festival)

In the heart of the Poro Plateau, the village of Zungri prepares to celebrate one of its most precious treasures. On August 17th, starting at 8:00 PM, Piazza della Madonna della Neve comes alive for the 36th edition of the Potato Festival.

The Star: Zungri Potatoes Potatoes are one of the signature products of the Poro region, and particularly of Zungri. Here, the sandy soil and unique climate conditions favor the cultivation of this tuber, giving it an unmistakable flavor and texture. As the organizers anticipate, it "identifies Zungri just as olive oil and suriaca do": not just a simple side dish, but an excellence that tells the agricultural story of the territory.

What to Eat and Drink at the Festival During the evening, the food stand will be entirely dedicated to potatoes, presented in a variety of traditional recipes that enhance their quality. Prepare yourself for a tasting experience that will let you rediscover this humble yet delicious ingredient in all its forms. Complementing the experience, you'll find tastings of other local specialties from Zungri, such as extra virgin olive oil and "suriaca" (beans), all accompanied by excellent local wine.

The Atmosphere of the Evening Zungri's Potato Festival is a true community celebration, organized in every detail to ensure hospitality and quality. The atmosphere is that of a traditional festival, where the pleasure of good food blends with the rhythm of live music. It's the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in the life of an authentic village, savor dishes prepared with love, and spend an evening in joy, surrounded by the warm hospitality of the people of Poro.
