About Crostolo Festival
The Crostolo Takes Centre Stage
The Crostolo Festival is a traditional gastronomic feast in Loano, on the Riviera Ligure di Ponente, in the province of Savona. It celebrates crostoli — typical sweet fried dough — and fugassin, the Ligurian fried focaccias, symbols of the region's humble yet delicious cuisine.
The Giant Pan
The most spectacular moment is the frying in the large pan over two meters wide, set up on the seafront, from which hot crostoli and fugassin are continuously produced. A spectacle that attracts the curious and the food lovers, amidst the aroma of frying and the lively atmosphere of the festival.
A Seaside Celebration
Organized on the seafront of Loano, the festival is one of the most beloved events in the summer calendar of the Savona town. A popular celebration that combines gastronomic tradition and conviviality, perfect for enjoying a summer evening by the sea.
Crostolo Festival — edition 2026
The 2026 edition of the Crostolo Festival enlivens the Loano seafront from July 24 to 26. For three evenings, stands will offer fried crostoli and fugassin in the large pan over two meters wide, a true spectacle of the festival.
A popular and delicious festival, blending Ligurian traditional flavours with the summer atmosphere of the Riviera di Ponente.
