Sagra del Pesce e Patate (Fish and Potatoes Festival)

The Sagra del Pesce e Patate in Barga returns in 2026 with a new edition packed with flavors and entertainment. From July 30 to August 17, at the Barga Municipal Stadium in Lucca province, this beloved celebration of Tuscan gastronomy makes its triumphant return. Every evening, from 7:00 PM to 11:30 PM, the festival showcases the celebrated pairing of fresh fish and crispy potatoes, accompanied by other culinary specialties designed to please all tastes. The menu features baked branzino, fried squid, lemon shrimp, and seasonal salads, with main courses starting from €12. A particularly appreciated feature of the festival is its fully covered structure, ensuring comfort and conviviality regardless of weather conditions. The organizers have attended to every detail: spacious tables, attentive service, and an authentic atmosphere that captures the true flavors of Tuscany. As regular visitor Marco Rossi shares, ‹returning year after year to this festival is a must: the fish is always incredibly fresh and the family atmosphere is wonderful›. Entertainment is guaranteed by live music every evening from 9:00 PM, with a dance floor where you can dance into the night.
