The Sagra delle Acciughe di Teriasca, a charming seaside village in the province of Genoa, represents one of the most authentic celebrations of Ligurian gastronomic tradition. Now in its 17th edition, this festival takes place from May 30 to June 1, 2026, thanks to the dedication of the Comitato Teriasca 2013 - Fuoco sotto il cielo, which transforms the village streets each year into a stage of genuine flavors and welcoming atmospheres. Every evening starting at 8 PM, over 15 food stands showcase the most beloved specialties of Ligurian cuisine: crispy fried anchovies, the famous bagnun—a humble yet characterful dish—marinated anchovies, pesto pasta, and other local delicacies prepared according to traditional recipes. This is an unmissable opportunity to experience the seafood essence of the Levante Riviera through its most iconic dishes, accompanied by live music that enlivens the evenings. The event offers a complete experience with diverse entertainment: each evening features concerts of Ligurian and Italian music, family activities, and moments of conviviality with the local community. Dish prices range from €8 to €15, with mixed tasting options available at advantageous prices. For parking and access, a convenient free shuttle service is available from Sori sports field from 7 PM to 11:30 PM, facilitating visitor access and ensuring safe return. The village can also be reached on foot via coastal paths (approximately 20 minutes from Sori center).
