Ancient Grains and Traditional Pizza Festival / Serradifalco Fair

A signature celebration in the heart of Sicily

The Ancient Grains and Traditional Pizza Festival, combined with the Serradifalco Fair, is one of the most beloved summer events in the Nisseno district. It takes place in Serradifalco, a town in the province of Caltanissetta, Sicily, bringing Via Cavalieri di Vittorio Veneto and the town center to life with a succession of scents, colors, and music. Established just a few years ago, the event has grown rapidly to become, as the organizers emphasize, a true economic engine for the area, capable of showcasing local produce and attracting visitors from across the region.

Ancient grains and traditional pizza

The heart of the festival lies in Sicilian ancient grains—native varieties recovered and promoted by local producers—and traditional pizza baked according to local recipes. Along the route, there are numerous food and wine stalls dedicated to local products, bread, pastries, and specialties from the Nisseno area, alongside craft and hobbyist stands. The atmosphere is that of a genuine village fair, where gastronomy intertwines with conviviality.

Shows, concerts, and fun for everyone

Each edition offers a rich calendar of free concerts featuring nationally renowned artists, shows, children's entertainment, and fairground rides. Over the years, the Serradifalco stage has hosted famous names from Italian music and entertainment, making the festival a landmark for audiences across the province. The event is also linked to the Feast of the Patron Saint, San Leonardo Abate, with its religious and social moments, blending popular devotion with community celebration.

An event for families and tourists

With its food stalls, rides, crafts, and major musical evenings, the Ancient Grains Festival is designed for a broad audience: families, young people, and tourists alike find here an opportunity to discover the authentic flavors of inland Sicily and experience the town's hospitality. Admission to the shows is free, in line with the popular and inclusive spirit of the event promoted by the Municipality of Serradifalco.
