About Ancient Traditions of the South

For an entire weekend, the Palatenda del Prato della Fiera in Caselle Torinese transforms into a grand street festival dedicated to the flavors and traditions of Southern Italy. Enjoy three days of freshly prepared Southern street food, cold beer, live music, and family-friendly entertainment, all with free admission and an atmosphere that captures the warmth of traditional Southern Italian village feasts.

Southern street food comes to Caselle Torinese

When spring arrives, the Palatenda del Prato della Fiera in Caselle Torinese lights up with color, fragrance, and music for Ancient Traditions of the South – Street Food & Music, the traveling event by Hello Eventi dedicated to the culinary excellence of the South. For three days, the public in the northern suburbs of Turin can immerse themselves in a journey through the flavors, sounds, and conviviality typical of Southern Italian village festivals, without ever leaving Piedmont.

Authentic flavors, freshly prepared

The heart of the festival is Southern street food: specialties cooked on-site and served hot, perfect for enjoying while strolling through the Palatenda stalls. Arrosticini, panzerotti, fried delicacies, and cannoli are paired with a rich beverage selection featuring cold draft beer, designed to satisfy both adults and children. The organizers' goal is clear: to recreate the warmth and energy of traditional Southern square festivals, turning an ordinary weekend into an occasion for great food and social connection.

Live music and folk tradition

Alongside the food, music is the other main attraction. Each day features live entertainment ranging from traditional Neapolitan folk music to the great classics of Italian song, with tribute bands and folk groups enlivening the Palatenda until late at night. It is this marriage of table and stage that makes this event a true community celebration, where people gather to dine, listen to great music, and enjoy each other's company.

A festival for the whole family

With free admission and a family-friendly atmosphere, Ancient Traditions of the South appeals to a wide audience: families with children, groups of friends, and street food enthusiasts. The event is part of the calendar of the Municipality of Caselle Torinese, in the Metropolitan City of Turin, which hosts various traveling food and wine festivals at the Prato della Fiera throughout the year. An unmissable appointment for those looking to savor a piece of the South just a few kilometers from the Piedmontese capital.
