Cutina Fest

Cutina Fest in Catignano

Cutina Fest is the summer event dedicated to craft beer, street food, and live music, held in the historic center of Catignano, a hillside village in the Val di Nora, in the province of Pescara, Abruzzo. The evening is part of the extensive municipal program Luci d'Estate, a festival that enlivens the town from June to September each year with cultural, gastronomic, and recreational events.

Craft beer and street food

The heart of the event lies in the meeting of craft beers and street food flavors: beer taps, food trucks, and culinary offerings transform the village squares into an open-air tasting trail. It is a convivial and informal format, highly appreciated by young people and families, bringing together residents and visitors during the warm summer evenings in Abruzzo.

Live music and tributes

Alongside beer and food, Cutina Fest features live concerts: past editions have included a tribute to Pink Floyd, with a musical reinterpretation dedicated to the famous British band. The formula alternates musical entertainment with tastings, offering a complete evening centered on social connection.

The village of Catignano and the Val di Nora

The Municipality of Catignano is a small town in the Pescara hinterland, nestled in the hills of Abruzzo. The town is known for its culinary heritage: it was the first municipality in the province of Pescara to receive the title of "City of the Truffle", a recognition linked to the abundance of truffles in the Val di Nora territory. Events like Cutina Fest are part of a tradition of festivals and fairs that showcase the village and its excellence during the summer.
