The food and wine event dedicated to the white onion of Isernia
The Festa della Cipolla Bianca di Isernia is the food and wine festival that, in the historic center of the capital of Molise, celebrates the most representative agricultural product of the territory: the white onion of Isernia, with its sweet flavor and flattened bulb. A recent but already very popular event, it complements the historic Onion Fair by offering a more contemporary and culinary interpretation.
The program revolves around food stands offering typical dishes and tastings based on white onion, accompanied by local products. Culinary contests and moments dedicated to promoting the product, in collaboration with local producers and food and wine businesses, are also featured.
The festival is marked by live music and activities designed for children and families, transforming the squares of Isernia's center into a meeting place. It is organized by the Comitato Centro Storico Isernia (Isernia Historic Center Committee) and confirms itself year after year as one of the most vibrant events of the Isernian summer, capable of combining taste, tradition, and entertainment.
The 4th edition of the Festa della Cipolla Bianca di Isernia will take place on June 26 and 27, 2026, in the historic center, coinciding with the historic Fiera delle Cipolle (Onion Fair) which concludes the Isernian month of June.
For 2026, the event will again offer food stands with dishes based on the white onion of Isernia, typical local products, live music, and activities for children and families, confirming its formula that blends taste, tradition, and entertainment.
The detailed program, including artists and initiatives, will be announced by the Comitato Centro Storico closer to the event.
