Bread Festival
Three days of flour, oven, and memory in Monacilioni
About Bread Festival
Bread at the heart of the festival
The Bread Festival in Monacilioni (province of Campobasso, Molise) celebrates artisanal bread and the cereal vocation of the territory for three days. It is an event that centers on a simple and identity-forming food, telling its story: from local flours to traditional baking, to the products that have always accompanied it on Molise tables.
Flavors of the territory
Along the village streets, you can taste bread made according to old methods and typical cured meats, especially the 'soppressata molisana', a pride of the community. Local flours, the aroma of the oven, and typical products create a culinary journey that tells the peasant identity of Monacilioni and Alto Molise.
A community festival
The festival is one of the main gastronomic events in Molise at the end of June and is part of the summer festival calendar of the area. It is the ideal opportunity to discover an authentic village in the Campobasso hinterland and to experience the convivial atmosphere of village festivals, where tradition becomes an encounter between generations.
Bread Festival — edition 2026
