The street food festival in Piazza Garibaldi, Borgo a Mozzano
In May 2026, a new event dedicated to street cuisine makes its debut in Borgo a Mozzano, in the charming Piazza Garibaldi: Borgo Gusto in Piazza. The event, organized by Gust'Aspasso Eventi, one of the most active players in the Tuscan street food scene, will bring the historic center of this town in the province of Lucca, overlooking the Media Valle del Serchio, to life for three days.
The initiative was created with the goal of showcasing the village, fostering social connection, and boosting local tourism and the economy, transforming the town's main square into a large open-air village of taste.
The heart of the festival is a caravan of selected food trucks arriving from various Italian regions, bringing high-level culinary specialties to the square. From traditional street food to gourmet offerings and international flavors, there is something for every palate. Accompanying the dishes is a selection of excellent Italian craft beers.
All food trucks use exclusively certified compostable and biodegradable tableware, completely eliminating single-use plastic: a choice that makes Borgo Gusto in Piazza an environmentally conscious event, with dedicated waste sorting stations managed by staff to keep the square clean and tidy throughout the festival.
In addition to the food, the event features music, rides, and inflatables for children, making Borgo Gusto in Piazza a perfect destination for families, groups of friends, and curious visitors. The convivial atmosphere, combined with extended hours until late at night, makes it one of the most pleasant spring occasions in the Garfagnana and Media Valle del Serchio area.
Borgo a Mozzano is famous throughout Tuscany for its Ponte della Maddalena, also known as the Devil's Bridge, one of the most photographed landmarks in the province of Lucca. A visit to the event is therefore the perfect opportunity to combine the pleasure of good food with the discovery of a fascinating corner of the Lucchesia region, rich in history, nature, and popular traditions.
The first edition of Borgo Gusto in Piazza brought the historic center of Borgo a Mozzano to life for three days of festivities dedicated to street cuisine, organized by Gust'Aspasso Eventi with the patronage of the Municipality.
Piazza Garibaldi hosted a selection of food trucks from various Italian regions, offering traditional and gourmet street food and global flavors, accompanied by excellent Italian craft beers. The offer was completed by music, rides, and inflatables for children's entertainment, in a convivial, family-friendly atmosphere.
All food trucks used compostable and biodegradable tableware, with no single-use plastic.
