The Sagra della Porchetta of Sant'Antonio Abate is one of Campania's most authentic and engaging events, a celebration that brings together gastronomy, tradition, and community in a timeless festival. For ten days, from January 16-25, 2027, the town's streets transform into a living stage where porchetta reigns supreme: prepared according to recipes passed down through generations by local master porchetta makers, this iconic dish releases enticing aromas that invite residents and visitors alike to rediscover the authentic flavors of Campanian cuisine. Yet this festival is far more than a gastronomic celebration—it's a journey into the past and cultural roots of the region. Among artisanal and vintage markets brimming with local products, reenactments of ancient crafts, and livestock fairs, visitors have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the living history of the town. Performances, live music, and entertainment moments create a festive and convivial atmosphere designed to engage audiences of all ages and generations. The most evocative moment remains the lighting of ‹O Fucarazzo 'e Sant'Antuono›, the great bonfire that represents the spiritual heart of the festival: a propitiatory and purification ritual deeply connected to the celebrations in honor of Sant'Antonio Abate. Within this setting, authentic popular traditions and historical insights interweave perfectly, making this festival an unmissable destination for those wishing to discover the most genuine soul of Campania.
