Festa dei sapori e delle tradizioni

The Festa dei Sapori e delle Tradizioni in Terrassa Padovana is an unmissable event for anyone seeking to discover authentic Venetian gastronomy and the living traditions of this charming town in the Padua province. For over a decade, this annual festival has brought together producers, artisans, and traditional cuisine enthusiasts in a welcoming and genuine atmosphere, where food becomes the main vehicle for telling the story and culture of the region. Over three days of celebration, the gastronomic stalls serve up essential Venetian specialties: famous Bigoli al ragù, homemade Gnocchi, Trippa alla veneta, Polenta e renga, and the more adventurous Spezzatino di musso and Straecca di cavallo. Each recipe represents centuries of culinary wisdom passed down through generations, prepared according to the teachings of the town's elders. The evenings celebrate conviviality and flavor, while Sunday lunch is the perfect occasion to gather family and friends around tables laden with delicacies. Sunday is particularly special thanks to the Farmers' Market of locally-sourced products, where you'll find short-supply-chain fruits and vegetables, artisanal cheeses, typical cured meats, local wines, and genuine honey. There's also an exhibition and sale of farmyard animals, completing the rural and traditional picture. Street performers, folk performances, and live music animate the entire event, making the festival suitable for all ages and the perfect opportunity to reconnect with your roots and rediscover the authentic values of Venetian culture.
