Sagra del pinzino e dell'arrosticino

The Sagra del Pinzino e dell'Arrosticino returns to Ferrara from August 22 to September 7, 2026, offering much more than a simple culinary experience. This summer event represents a gathering where gastronomic tradition meets the local community spirit, creating an authentic and convivial atmosphere that defines Ferrarese hospitality. The undisputed stars are pinzini—fluffy fried pastry triangles served with local cured meats and cheeses—and arrosticini from Abruzzo, succulent lamb skewers grilled over charcoal that delight even the most discerning palates. What makes this festival truly special is the organizers' commitment to celebrating not only the culinary excellence of Emilia-Romagna and Abruzzo, but also the valuable work of local associations that serve the community every day. In the food stands, a festive popular spirit reigns where conviviality and gastronomic quality intertwine, offering visitors the chance to discover new specialties and traditional flavors paired with local wines. A distinctive feature of the event is its commitment to social responsibility: festival proceeds support charitable territorial projects, such as contributions to the ‹Nati Prima› Association for intensive care equipment at Cona Hospital and participation in the ‹Ferrara Cardio Protetta› project. An unmissable appointment for those seeking an authentic gastronomic experience enriched by social responsibility.
