The Sagra del Pesto reaches its 19th edition in Pontedecimo, a district of Genova, organized by the local CNGEI scouts. Hosted at the Polisportiva SOMS La Fratellanza on Via Isocorte 13, the festival celebrates the true symbol of Ligurian cuisine with a rich culinary lineup open for dinner starting at 7:30 PM, as well as for Sunday lunch from 12:30 PM. The menu highlights authentic Genoese pesto served with a variety of pasta shapes: trofie, testaroli, gnocchi, trenette, and lasagne. The dining options are rounded out with grilled meats, savory Ligurian meatloaf, french fries, and desserts like basil panna cotta, including dedicated gluten-free options. The event takes place rain or shine. The weekend also features plenty of entertainment: Saturday evening offers traditional ballroom dancing with the Mokambo orchestra, while Sunday includes children's entertainment during lunch, a cirulla card tournament at 3:30 PM, and an evening concert by the local Genoese band Sconvoltri.
