Festival del pesce azzurro

The Festival del Pesce Azzurro in Marzamemi is an unmissable appointment for lovers of the sea and authentic Sicilian cuisine, where culinary tradition and environmental awareness meet in a celebration of Mediterranean flavors. From July 2-5, 2026, the charming fishing village of Marzamemi transforms into a piazza dedicated to discovering blue fish, the undisputed protagonist of local gastronomy and symbol of the biological wealth of our seas.

The event goes far beyond simple tasting: through thematic conferences, talk shows, and cooking demonstrations featuring renowned chefs such as Ciccio Sultano and international guests, the festival promotes an important message about environmental sustainability and responsible fishing. An opportunity to educate visitors about the value of blue fish and the importance of preserving the marine ecosystem.

During the four days, the public can participate in interactive cooking shows, guided tastings of sardines, anchovies and horse mackerel, visits to stands dedicated to local producers and sustainable fishing companies. The evenings come alive with live music and cultural performances, creating a festive and welcoming atmosphere. An immersive experience that combines the pleasure of the palate with conscious reflection on our relationship with the environment and the sea.
