Sagra della pecora - Murgia a morsi

The Sagra della pecora – Murgia a Morsi in Altamura represents an extraordinary opportunity to rediscover the authentic roots of Murgia culture. This event, held in the heart of the town's historic center, is not simply a gastronomic festival, but a true celebration of territorial identity, where sheep – always a pillar of the local economy – once again becomes the absolute protagonist in all its traditional culinary forms.

From July 11 to 13, 2026, the squares of Altamura transform into a space where gastronomy, craftsmanship, and culture coexist harmoniously. Visitors will be able to admire handcrafted items created by local master artisans, taste typical dishes prepared according to time-honored recipes, and discover zero-kilometer products from the territory's agricultural enterprises. Exceptional musical performances, educational workshops, and street artist performances round out a rich and varied program.

This event represents an invitation to rediscover the value of rural tradition and sustainability through an experiential approach that engages all the senses and celebrates the enogastronomic and artisanal excellence of Murgia. A perfect weekend for those wishing to immerse themselves in the true essence of rural Puglia.
