Abruzzo Street Food

Abruzzo street food arrives in Casoli

In the heart of the Chieti hinterland, at the foot of the ducal castle, the village of Casoli (province of Chieti, Abruzzo) dedicates an entire weekend to street food with the Abruzzo Street Food festival. The event brings Piazza Santa Reparata, the town's main square, to life, transforming it into a vibrant culinary hub featuring numerous food stalls.

What to eat

The common thread is Abruzzo street food: from the most traditional regional dishes to innovative gourmet offerings, not to mention a well-stocked beverage area featuring craft beers. Every evening, starting at 6:00 PM, the square fills with enticing aromas and crowds of people gathering to taste local delicacies in a festive, shared atmosphere.

Music and entertainment

It is not just about gastronomy: Abruzzo Street Food features live music and DJ sets until late at night. The stage performances alternate between bands playing rock, pop, funk, and Italian classics, as well as musical projects covering the biggest hits of recent decades, ensuring the square keeps dancing after dinner.

A free and convivial event

Organized by the Amicasoli Association, the event is free to enter and caters to families, young people, and food lovers alike. It is the perfect opportunity to discover Casoli and the Abruzzo hinterland, nestled between the hills of the Val di Sangro and the villages overlooking Lake Sant'Angelo, in an informal setting that highlights local producers and culinary traditions.

How to experience the event

Casoli is easily accessible from the Trabocchi Coast and the Val di Sangro motorway exit. The best way to enjoy it is to arrive in the square at sunset, when the stalls open and the evening comes alive with tastings, beers, and music. It has become a highly anticipated date on the summer calendar of Abruzzo's villages.
