In the heart of the Marche region, the small village of Carassai transforms into an arena of authentic flavours during the Sagra della Salsiccia alla Brace. From August 8-17, 2026, the hillside streets fill with fragrant smoke and the sizzle of hot grills, where sausage prepared according to local tradition becomes the undisputed star. The recipe has been passed down through generations: coarsely ground pork, seasoned with garlic, wine and pepper—a simplicity that captures the very essence of Marche cuisine. This is far more than a festival dedicated to good food; it is a celebration of genuine conviviality. Visitors can savour the sausage in all its forms: in a juicy sandwich or plated, always accompanied by sides that enhance it—golden roasted potatoes, fresh seasonal salads, stewed beans and the finest local wines. Every bite contains the passion of those who know that true flavour needs no artifice. The event offers much more than excellent dishes: evening dances that keep the village dancing late into the night, prize games, artisan stalls and a dedicated space for families. It is an event where the grill warms both stomach and heart, where every visitor feels part of a community celebrating its values and traditions with genuine pride.
