Sagra dell'Anatra

The Sagra dell'Anatra in Montecastrilli returns with its 32nd edition from August 14–23, 2026, confirming itself as one of the most anticipated gastronomic events of the Umbrian summer. In the heart of this charming town in Terni province, local culinary tradition comes alive with authentic dishes where duck takes center stage: from pappardelle with duck ragù to braised duck, smoked roasts, and duck ragù served over creamy polenta—all prepared using recipes passed down through generations that embody the authentic flavors of Umbria. But the Sagra dell'Anatra is more than just a feast for the palate. For ten days, Montecastrilli transforms into a grand open-air stage where live music and dancing evenings, featuring the region's finest orchestras, accompany dinners under the stars. Rides and family-friendly activities—from children's games to folkloric performances—round out a rich and varied program designed to entertain guests of all ages. The festivities extend beyond the festival grounds themselves: the streets of the historic center buzz with energy through the Montecastrilli Sotto le Stelle initiative, bringing late-night venues, artisan stalls, and live music to every corner of town. Dinners are served at the Centro Servizi with table service, ensuring an authentic and comfortable dining experience. A perfect opportunity to discover Umbrian hospitality, savor local specialties, and immerse yourself in the genuine atmosphere of a celebration that brings together community, tradition, and taste.
