Sagra · August 10, 2026 – August 14, 2026 · Cannole (LE)
Get ready for the 40th anniversary of the Festa della Municeddha, running from August 10th to 14th! This five-day festival is a deep dive into Salento's culinary traditions, with the star of the show being the 'municeddha' (snails), prepared according to authentic Cannole recipes: sautéed, in a rich ragù, or grilled over charcoal. Enjoy a wide selection of local dishes, live music, and folkloristic performances for a full immersion into Puglia's vibrant popular culture.
Indulge in a fantastic array of local flavors, starting with mixed appetizers and bruschetta with anchovies. For main courses, savor the unique 'municeddha' snails prepared three ways: in a savory ragù, perfectly grilled, or deliciously sautéed. Other hearty options include grilled meats, 'pezzetti di cavallo al sugo' (horse meat stew, a regional specialty), and traditional meatballs. Don't miss the 'pittule' street food, and for dessert, treat yourself to 'pasticciotti' pastries and refreshing 'spumoni' ice cream.
