The 45th edition of the Sagra dell'anguilla e del baccalà returns to Vicopisano, in the province of Pisa, to celebrate Tuscany's gastronomic excellence. From June 26 to July 19, 2026, the G. Taccola sports field in Uliveto Terme will transform into a culinary arena where you can savor local specialties prepared with mastery by food vendors. The event spans four consecutive weekends, offering visitors multiple opportunities to immerse themselves in the authentic flavors of Pisan tradition. A 45-year tradition: The Sagra dell'anguilla e del baccalà represents a gastronomic institution with roots deep in Vicopisano's river and maritime history. Eel, the undisputed king of Tuscan rivers, is prepared according to recipes passed down through generations: from the classic stewed eel with fresh tomato to the more refined grilled eel with aromatic herbs. Cod celebrates Tuscany's historic trade links with the Mediterranean, offered in the Vicenza style and other regional variations. Every evening from 7:00 PM to 11:30 PM, food stands offer dishes based on eel and cod, accompanied by tempting grilled meats, seasonal side dishes, and selected local wines. Individual dishes range from €8 to €14, while complete menus (appetizer, main course, dessert, and beverage) are offered at €22. For those who prefer to enjoy meals comfortably at home, a takeaway service with delivery by 10:30 PM is available. After dinner, the atmosphere comes alive with live music and orchestra performances every Friday and Saturday evening, creating a complete experience that combines gastronomy and entertainment. The event is a perfect opportunity to discover flavors tied to Pisan tradition in a convivial and festive setting. PRACTICAL INFORMATION: Location: G.
