The Festa del Galletto in Castelnuovo Berardenga returns for its 14th edition to celebrate one of Tuscany's most iconic dishes. From June 11-14, the Association Il Pratone transforms this charming Sienese village into a hub of conviviality and exceptional cuisine, with the star of the show being galletto alla brace—young rooster grilled over charcoal according to authentic traditional recipes. This festival offers far more than just culinary indulgence. Thursday evening kicks off with ‹Aspettando il galletto› (Awaiting the Rooster), an aperitivo dinner featuring fried specialties, charcuterie boards, and champagne. On subsequent days, guests can enjoy the AperiFritto before sitting down to dine. The gastronomic stand remains open every evening from 7:30 PM onwards, welcoming everyone eager to savor this regional specialty. But food is just the beginning—the evening program features live concerts and musical entertainment to keep the festivities going long after dinner. Best of all, admission is completely free, making this event accessible to all lovers of authentic Tuscan cuisine and live music.
