The historic fish festival of Calzolaro, a hamlet of Umbertide
Calzolarissimo is the festival that animates Calzolaro, a hamlet in the municipality of Umbertide, in the province of Perugia, every year. The event is best known as the Sagra del Pesce (Fish Festival): a renowned gastronomic event with traditional food stalls, where fish is the star, accompanied by live music and various entertainment.
The heart of the festival lies in its food stalls, offering traditional dishes, especially fish specialties, served during the festival evenings. Alongside good food, the event features live music and entertainment, in a popular festive atmosphere that involves the entire hamlet.
Now in its 46th edition, Calzolarissimo is one of the longest-running summer festivals in the Umbertide area. More than just a gastronomic event, it is an identity-defining occasion for the community of Calzolaro and a meeting point for the entire Upper Tiber Valley.

The renowned Sagra del Pesce (Fish Festival) offers four evenings with traditional food stalls and fish specialties, accompanied by live music and various entertainment for all ages.
The evening-by-evening program will be released by the Pro Loco of Calzolaro in the weeks preceding the festival.
