Roast duck, pappardelle, and great orchestras in the center of Montecastrilli
The Duck Festival, the gastronomic heart of the 'Under the Stars of Montecastrilli' event, is one of the longest-running and most popular gatherings in the town, in the province of Terni. For ten days, the historic center comes alive with stalls, music, and tables under the August sky.
The signature dish is roast duck, a traditional preparation that gives the festival its name, alongside duck pappardelle and many other Umbrian cuisine specialties. There is also the 'Gourmet Corner', dedicated to desserts. Service is at the table.
Each evening offers live music and dancing with the best orchestras in Umbria, with free admission. A large inflatable play area and activities for children are set up for families, making the festival an event suitable for all ages.
