Sagra della fregnaccia montacampese

In the Umbrian hills, just a few steps from Amelia, Montecampano celebrates one of its most authentic culinary traditions: the Sagra della Fregnaccia Montacampese. From July 4-13, 2026, this small village transforms into an arena of flavors and aromas where fregnaccia, a humble pasta sheet with ancient roots, takes center stage. This local specialty, similar to a rolled crêpe filled with cheeses, prosciutto, and aromatic herbs, perfectly represents the culinary identity of a territory that knows how to transform simple ingredients into memorable dishes.

During these ten days of celebration, fregnaccia is offered in numerous variations, cooked on a griddle or in the oven, always accompanied by the finest local productions: aged cured meats, Umbrian legumes, traditional dry pastries, and quality red wines. This is more than just a food festival—it's a complete experience where food intertwines with live music, games for children, traditional dancing, and convivial evenings under the summer sky.

The festival program features evenings dedicated to Umbrian folk music, with ensembles of local musicians performing from 9:00 PM, group dancing spaces featuring the tarantella and regional folk dances, play areas for children with afternoon entertainment from 3:00 PM, and educational workshops where you can discover the traditional preparation of fregnaccia.

Montecampano welcomes visitors with the simplicity and warmth that characterize Umbria: here you won't find artifice, but the authentic expression of a culinary tradition passed down through time. An unmissable festival for those who want to discover the true flavors of central Italy and experience a genuine moment in contact with the people and land that produce these marvels.
