Sagra degli Schiaffoni (Schiaffoni Festival)

The Sagra degli Schiaffoni is one of the most anticipated summer events in Tuscany, returning to Campo, a hamlet of San Giuliano Terme in the province of Pisa, from August 5-15, 2026. This festival celebrates one of the region's most distinctive dishes: schiaffoni, a handmade fresh pasta that embodies the gastronomic excellence of the territory and represents a tradition rooted in Tuscany's rural heritage. Schiaffoni are the undisputed stars of the festival, offered with various delicious sauce options: porcini mushrooms, Genoese pesto, Tuscan ragù, braised wild boar, ricotta, and truffles. Alongside the main specialty, visitors can enjoy other delights of traditional Tuscan cuisine, from grilled meat to fried seafood, renowned campo soup, and local desserts. The event offers a complete and welcoming experience: tables can be reserved online a few days before the festival begins, and the full menu is available on the website. A complete ingredient guide is available at the cashier for those with food allergies or intolerances. Throughout the festival, in addition to gastronomic tastings, there will be live music, folk performances, and family activities that transform the sagra into a celebration of conviviality and tradition. Hours: 7:00 PM–11:00 PM (Monday–Thursday), 12:00 PM–2:30 PM and 7:00 PM–11:30 PM (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday).
