XXVIII° Sagra del Cinghiale e della Castagna (Wild Boar and Chestnut Festival)

The charming village of San Potito Ultra hosts the 28th edition of the Sagra del Cinghiale e della Castagna, one of Irpinia's most eagerly awaited autumn festivals. Over the weekend, the village's alleys and squares come alive with lights, live music, and warm hospitality, offering visitors a festive celebration of local excellence. At the heart of the culinary lineup are authentic traditional flavors: from fresh scialatielli pasta served with rich wild boar ragù or pumpkin, to charcoal-grilled pork and wild boar meats, melted caciocavallo 'mpiccato cheese, roasted chestnuts, and local wine. The star dessert is the famous record-breaking giant chestnut yule log, alongside homemade sweets baked by local women. Food stands open on Friday and Saturday evening, while on Sunday they welcome guests starting from lunchtime until supplies last. To facilitate visitor arrivals, ample parking for cars and motorcycles as well as a dedicated motorhome/camper area are available close to the venue.
