About Arancina Festival

In July, Camporosso hosts a taste of Sicily with the Arancina Festival. Arancine, the queens of Sicilian street food, arrive in the Nervia Valley for an evening of flavour and live music at the Palatenda Bigauda. Featuring Sicilian cuisine, live rhythms, and a summer atmosphere, the festival is a young and lively celebration that brings the flavours of the South to the Riviera dei Fiori, offering visitors a different kind of evening in the heart of the Ligurian Ponente summer.

Sicily arrives in Camporosso

The Arancina Festival is the celebration that brings the flavours of Sicily to Camporosso, a municipality in the Nervia Valley in the province of Imperia. The star is the arancina, the famous Sicilian fried rice ball specialty, a symbol of the island's street food, presented here in a summer evening dedicated to taste and fun.

Sicilian cuisine and live music

At the Palatenda Bigauda, stands offer arancine and other specialties of Sicilian cuisine, accompanied by live music. The atmosphere is that of summer festivals, with long tables, scents from the South, and rhythms that liven up the evening, in a successful blend of Sicilian tradition and Ligurian hospitality.

A young and growing festival

Relatively new, the Arancina Festival has already found its audience, demonstrating how much the flavours of the South can win over the Ligurian Ponente. It's an event that enriches Camporosso's vibrant summer calendar with a different offering, perfect for an evening with friends.

Camporosso, a crossroads of flavours

A few kilometres from the sea and the French border, Camporosso is a dynamic municipality on the Riviera dei Fiori, rich in events and festivals throughout the summer. The Arancina Festival is an example of this, capable of uniting different gastronomic cultures in a celebration of conviviality.
