Autunno Ragalnese is a food, wine, and cultural festival that enlivens the Mount Etna village on Sundays from late October to early December. Hosted in the exhibition area of Piazza Cisterna in Ragalna, the event features the traditional Mercatini dell'Etna, created to promote and celebrate artisanal crafts and local agricultural excellence from the foothills. Visitors can explore tastings and market stalls offering zero-kilometer local specialties, including cheeses, fresh ricotta, extra virgin olive oil, wild mushrooms, foraged greens, and renowned Etna wines, alongside traditional handmade crafts. Each Sunday showcases a different gastronomic theme rooted in local culinary heritage, ranging from celebrating the De.Co.-certified Etna Apple to special days dedicated to pizza and scacciata, culminating in beloved festivals such as the Sagra della Salsiccia e Caliceddi (Sausage and Wild Greens Festival) and the Sagra dell'Olio d'Oliva (Olive Oil Festival).
