Activities designed for children make the festival an inclusive event where every family member finds their own entertainment. In Milazzo, dining together becomes a ritual that unites taste with collective memory, the present with the history of generations of fishermen. The Sagra del Pesce is the perfect opportunity to understand how territory and tradition intertwine on the Sicilian table, creating authentic experiences that restore dignity and value to food and its craftspeople.
