About Flavours Festival

The Flavours Festival (Sagra dei Sapori) is one of the most beloved summer food and wine events in Alanno, a village in the province of Pescara in the heart of Abruzzo. Organized by the Misericordia of Alanno in the Madonnella district, the event celebrates local flavours with food stalls, traditional Abruzzese dishes, music, and festive open-air evenings. A family-friendly and convivial event that draws residents and visitors from neighbouring towns every July, combining fine dining with the spirit of solidarity of the organizing association.

The Alanno Flavours Festival

The Flavours Festival is one of the most deeply rooted gastronomic events in the summer calendar of Alanno, a hillside town in the province of Pescara, in Abruzzo. Conceived and carried forward over the years by the Misericordia of Alanno, the event takes place in the Madonnella area, transforming the space for a few evenings into a large celebration dedicated to taste and conviviality.

A feast of local flavours

The heart of the festival lies in its food stalls, where you can taste typical dishes and local specialties of Abruzzese cuisine in a simple and genuine atmosphere. The menu features classics of the local rural and pastoral tradition, accompanied by local wines. The formula, perfected over numerous editions, focuses on the quality of local products and the warm hospitality typical of the small villages in the Pescara hinterland.

Music, social life, and solidarity

Beyond the food and wine, the Flavours Festival offers evenings of live music and entertainment, creating a festive atmosphere that engages families and visitors of all ages. The event is also a moment of community participation: as it is organized by the Misericordia, the festival combines a convivial dimension with the spirit of volunteering and solidarity, values that have always defined the association.

In the heart of the Alanno summer

The festival is part of a rich summer programme that brings Alanno to life between June and September, featuring events such as the Palio delle Contrade, concerts, theatrical performances, and the historic Borgo in Sagra event. The Flavours Festival represents one of the most anticipated moments of this calendar, attracting visitors from the nearby towns of the Val Pescara and the Vestina area.

An appointment to discover the authentic Abruzzo

Attending the Flavours Festival means experiencing the hospitality of an Abruzzese village far from mass tourism circuits, amidst good food, tradition, and hilly landscapes. It is an ideal opportunity to savour the typical products of the Municipality of Alanno and get to know the gastronomic and human identity of this corner of the province of Pescara.
