Taking place from July 15-19, 2026, this festival offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the culinary richness of the region, where ancient traditions and authentic flavors meet in an unforgettable taste journey.

The public spaces of the village come alive with live music, theatrical performances, and moments of conviviality that create a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere, transporting visitors to authentic Campania. It is here that Cilento tradition reveals its full identity: through genuine preparations, recipes cherished by local families, and the passion of those who daily keep the territory's culinary heritage alive. Participating in the Sagra delle Sagre means not only savoring extraordinary dishes but also understanding the spirit of a community that continues to celebrate its history through food.
