The Sagra della Fragola in Maletto is a summer celebration dedicated to the renowned local strawberry, cultivated on the slopes of Mount Etna and prized for its distinctive sweetness and intense aroma, thanks to the volcanic soil. For three days, this Etna village welcomes visitors and food enthusiasts amid the aromas, flavors, and traditions of the region. Throughout the town center, gastronomic stalls brim with strawberry-based specialties, including artisanal jams and traditional desserts. Among the festival's most memorable moments is the creation of a giant strawberry cake, prepared by local craftspeople and distributed free to all attendees. The event features an entertainment program that complements tastings with live music performances, folk shows, activities for children, and the traditional 'Miss Fragolina' pageant, offering an occasion for conviviality and celebrating local heritage.
