Festa della Castagna e del Marrone (Chestnut Festival)

Held annually in late autumn, typically October, the Festa della Castagna e del Marrone celebrates the region's abundant chestnut harvest. This vibrant local festival brings together residents and tourists for a day of culinary delights, traditional crafts, and lively entertainment. Visitors can sample roasted chestnuts (caldarroste), chestnut flour products like 'necci' (crepes), cakes, and other local specialties. Artisan stalls offer handmade goods, and folk music often fills the air. It's a quintessential autumnal event that showcases the rich cultural heritage and community spirit of the Apennines.
