Festa delle Ciliegie

Pecetto Torinese, a charming municipality in the province of Turin, fully deserves its title as 'the land of cherries'. Every year, this territory celebrates its most deep-rooted fruit-growing tradition with the Festa delle Ciliegie, an event with over a century of history. The 111th edition, scheduled for June 5-7, 2026, promises to be an unmissable opportunity to discover and taste local excellence in an atmosphere of celebration and conviviality.

The Festa delle Ciliegie of Pecetto Torinese is much more than a simple food festival: it represents a moment of collective celebration where the local community shares its riches with visitors from across Italy. The orchards of this territory have always been synonymous with quality and authentic flavor, and during this event you can savor selected cherry varieties and typical dishes from the Piedmont tradition that showcase them.

Among tastings, entertainment, and moments of socializing, the festival offers the opportunity to immerse yourself in Turin's gastronomic culture, discovering how cherries are the undisputed protagonist of local cuisine. Visitors can enjoy fresh, locally-sourced cherries, artisanal jams, cherry tarts and macarons, while the food stands offer innovative dishes that combine the sweet fruit of tradition with contemporary Piedmont cooking.

The event unfolds over three days packed with activities: from 10 am to 10 pm you can access the main area with stalls from local producers, while Friday June 6 and Saturday June 7 evenings feature live music entertainment (from 9 pm to 11 pm). Sunday June 8 is dedicated to families with educational workshops for children about cherry cultivation. Admission is free; individual products and dishes range from 3 to 15 euros. An event that celebrates the deep bond between a territory and its most precious fruits.
