Sagra del pilau

The Sagra del Pilau Calasettano is one of the most anticipated events of Sardinia's gastronomic calendar, a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the island's maritime culinary traditions. For three days, the charming village of Calasetta, with its characteristic white and blue houses reflected in crystal-clear waters, transforms into a temple of taste where local chefs and visitors celebrate together the pilau—a dish that embodies Calasettano's gastronomic identity. A sensory experience that brings together history, culture, and the finest fruits of the Mediterranean Sea.

During the festival, the streets of the historic center come alive with food and wine stands where you can taste pilau in its traditional varieties: fregola, a typical Sardinian grain, pairs perfectly with fresh seafood and rich, flavorful broths. This event is more than just a culinary occasion—it's a journey into the past, a way to preserve and celebrate recipes passed down through generations of island fishermen and local cooks. A festive atmosphere, local music, and Calasettano hospitality complete an unforgettable experience.
