The mid-summer festival of the mountain village of Annifo, between lentils and tradition
The Annifo Lentil Festival, combined with the 7 Days in the Mountains event, is the great summer festival of Annifo, a mountain hamlet of Foligno (province of Perugia) located on the Plestini Plateaus, on the border between Umbria and Marche. It is a time when the inhabitants of the small village share with visitors the unspoiled beauty of the territory, the authenticity of mountain life, and the uniqueness of their cuisine.
The heart of the festival is the local lentil, an excellent product of the plateaus from which simple and flavorful dishes are born. Every evening, starting at 8:00 PM, the inn opens with a menu entirely dedicated to lentils and mountain cuisine.
The festival is enlivened every evening by a card game tournament and music from the best Umbrian dance orchestras, which draw people of all ages onto the dance floor. During the day, local associations organize excursions on the mountain trails of the plateaus, to discover the nature of the Colfiorito Park and its surroundings.
With its many editions, "7 Days in the Mountains" is one of the longest-running and most beloved village festivals in the Foligno mountains, capable of combining gastronomy, tradition, and outdoor life.
The 2026 edition combines the 33rd Lentil Festival with the 40th edition of 7 Days in the Mountains, from August 10 to 15 in Annifo, on the Plestini Plateaus of Foligno.
Every evening, from 8:00 PM, the inn offers a menu entirely dedicated to local lentils and mountain cuisine dishes. The evening program includes the card game tournament and music from the best Umbrian dance orchestras, while during the day local associations organize excursions on the mountain trails.
Details of the events will be communicated by the Pro Loco Annifo in the days preceding the event.
