One of Tuscany's most eagerly anticipated summer events returns to Carrara: the Sagra del Pescatore. From August 12-22, 2026, the charming Parco di Ca' Michele in Bonascola will transform into a gastronomic oasis where local culinary traditions meet a passion for the sea and its treasures. Every evening, starting at 7:30 PM, the food stand opens its doors to welcome visitors and curious gourmands, offering an authentic experience centered on taste and conviviality. The festival's culinary offerings revolve around the most representative dishes of the maritime tradition: you must try the fresh pasta and seafood ravioli, capturing all the flavor of the Adriatic in every bite. Each dish is prepared following recipes passed down through generations, using fresh, genuine ingredients sourced from the finest local suppliers. But the festival doesn't forget those who prefer heartier fare: traditional Tuscan ragù and grilled meats ensure that every palate finds its ideal dish, making the Sagra del Pescatore an inclusive event open to all. The festival offers far more than a culinary experience: during the ten evenings, the park comes alive with live music, traditional games, and entertainment designed for families and young people. The convivial atmosphere, illuminated by evocative lights and thematic decorations, creates the perfect setting for unforgettable dinners among friends and family, immersing you in authentic Carrarese maritime culture. The event is organized with dedication by the Pubblica Assistenza di Carrara, a volunteer association that has served the community for years. A portion of the festival's proceeds supports the organization's social projects, allowing visitors to contribute meaningfully to the common good while savoring authentic Tuscan flavors. **Practical Information:** - **Prices**: Individual dishes from €8 to €15; complete menus at special rates - **Reservations**: Recommended for groups of 10+ people (contact the Pubblica Assistenza) - **Entertainment**: Live music every evening; themed nights on weekends - **Accessibility**: Free parking; accessible facilities for people with disabilities
