From June 25-28, 2026, this charming Nuorese village transforms into a vibrant hub of culture, food and wine experiences, and entertainment, celebrating the ruby-red fruit that defines this summer season with a festival full of surprises and convivial moments. Cherries Take Center Stage The cherries of Lanusei, renowned for their quality and intense flavor, are the undisputed stars of the festival.

A Complete Cultural and Gastronomic Experience Visitors can immerse themselves in an experience that embraces history, nature, and local tradition. Guided tours of Nur Archeo Park allow you to explore the archaeological heritage of the region and discover the mysteries of Nuragic civilizations. Cultural events offer insights, conferences, and quality showcases. Local artisans present their creations at exhibition stands, creating an authentic atmosphere typical of Sardinian festivals. Entertainment and Sardinian Traditions Gastronomic tastings dedicated to cherries and local products—DOP cheeses, pani traditional sweets, and local honey—accompanied by live music and traditional Sardinian dancing that animate the town squares until evening. Cooking workshops, activities for children, and convivial moments make the fair a perfect opportunity to savor the heart of Sardinia in a festive and welcoming setting.
