Sagra della vongola

In the heart of the Po Delta Park lies one of Emilia-Romagna's most anticipated gastronomic events: the Sagra della Vongola in Goro. From July 11-20, 2026, this charming Ferrara village transforms into a seafood lover's paradise, where celebrated local clams—carefully farmed and appreciated worldwide—become the true stars of an unforgettable culinary experience. A unique opportunity to taste the sea at km 0, directly from the waters of the Sacca di Goro.

The beating heart of the festival is a gigantic pan nearly 3 meters in diameter, a true symbol of generosity and tradition, capable of preparing over 1,200 daily portions of clams cooked according to the most authentic recipes. Twenty local cooperatives work side by side to offer extraordinary dishes: from classic spaghetti alle vongole to strozzapreti alla marinara, from mixed fried seafood to baked sea bass fillet, not forgetting delicious preparations of mussels, oysters, and freshly caught prawns.

But the Sagra della Vongola is much more than a food festival: it's a complete journey into the culture and traditions of the Po Delta. The calendar features live music performances, entertainment for all ages, exhibition stands, and fascinating boat excursions that let you discover firsthand where these delicacies are born—an immersive experience that unites gastronomy, nature, and conviviality.
