Sagra dell'Olio Novo

The prestigious 49th edition of the Sagra dell'Olio Novo returns to Ghizzano, nestled in the heart of the Pisan hills, as one of spring's most anticipated events in Tuscany. Two weekends dedicated to the region's celebrated extra virgin olive oil, from May 16-24, 2026, invite you to discover the authentic flavors of this generous land and the traditions that have defined the Peccioli hamlet for six centuries. Crispy bruschettes topped with the liquid gold of the region, paired with the finest local wines: this is the promise of a festival that perfectly balances food and wine experiences with entertainment. But the Sagra dell'Olio Novo is far more than a culinary celebration. Ghizzano, known as one of Tuscany's most colorful villages, transforms into an open-air stage where live music, dance performances, and acrobatic shows delight visitors throughout the day and evening. The Ghizzy Market lets tourists discover local artisan products while strolling through the village's charming streets. With completely free entry, the event spans two weekends: the first offering Saturday dinner (7:00 PM-11:00 PM) and Sunday lunch and dinner (12:00 PM-3:00 PM and 7:00 PM-11:00 PM), with the same schedule for the second weekend. This is an unmissable opportunity to immerse yourself in authentic Tuscan atmosphere—tradition, flavor, and fun combined—perfect for families and food-loving couples alike. **Don't miss the 49th edition!** Reserve your table and join us in celebrating this extraordinary festival of Tuscan heritage.
