Sagra dell'Acquacotta - Festa di Mezza Estate (Acquacotta Festival - Midsummer Celebration)

The 18th Edition of the Sagra dell'Acquacotta and the 53rd Midsummer Festival return to Montecoronaro, an unmissable appointment for lovers of authentic Romagna cuisine. The star of the festival is acquacotta, a dish steeped in history that embodies the stories of migration and resilience of mountain dwellers who, forced to seek work in Tuscany's Maremma during winter months, brought this simple and genuine dish to the heart of Romagna. What began as a recipe born of necessity—onion, vegetables, oil, tomato, an egg, and toasted bread—has become over time a symbol of local tradition, prepared today with the same folkloric spirit that characterizes it. During the two-day festival on August 1st and 2nd, you can savor authentic acquacotta prepared according to traditional recipe, rediscovering those ancient flavors that transport you back through the centuries. But the event organized by the Pro Loco of Montecoronaro is far more than just gastronomy: the green area of Via Chiessaia comes alive each evening with live music, performances, and dancing with a full orchestra, creating a convivial atmosphere perfect for the whole family. The region continues to surprise festival enthusiasts: just days after the Midsummer Festival, on August 14th, Stincobirrata returns, while the Wild Boar Festival is scheduled for July 18th and 19th. An extraordinary opportunity to immerse your senses in Romagna's gastronomic culture.
