The Festa d'Autunno e dei Frutti Dimenticati celebrates ancient fruits like jujubes, corbezzoli (strawberry tree berries), and pomegranates, promoting their rediscovery and appreciation. This event offers food and wine stands, educational exhibits, live shows, and tastings, all accompanied by live music. It's a delightful journey into Puglia's rural culture and the region's finest local products.
Indulge in unique, traditional Puglian flavors with a focus on 'forgotten fruits' such as the sweet and tangy corbezzoli (strawberry tree berries), the subtly sweet giuggiole (jujubes), and the vibrant, juicy melograni (pomegranates). These are local specialties you won't want to miss!
Join us on October 17-18, 2026 (Saturday-Sunday), starting at 7:00 PM each evening. The event takes place in Piazza Nicola e Costa, Castellana Grotte (BA). You'll find a variety of food and wine stands featuring Puglian specialties and ancient fruits, along with educational exhibits, captivating shows, art displays, and lively music.
