The festival dedicated to the potato from the Savona hinterland
The Festa delle Patate is the gastronomic festival that enlivens the hamlet of San Martino, in the municipality of Stella, in the province of Savona, every summer. The star is the local potato, a product of agriculture in the Savona hinterland, featured in traditional peasant dishes.
At the food stands, the potato becomes the main ingredient in simple and flavorful recipes, from fried preparations to side dishes that accompany grilled meats. Genuine cuisine that tells the story of the bond between these communities and their land.
Included in the official 2026 events calendar of the Municipality of Stella, the Festa delle Patate is a gathering moment for the hamlet of San Martino and neighboring communities. With food, music, and conviviality, the festival keeps alive the tradition of village festivals in the Ligurian Apennines, between sea and mountains.
For 2026, the Festa delle Patate is scheduled for August 4 and 5 in the hamlet of San Martino di Stella, as confirmed by the event calendar of the Municipality of Stella.
As tradition dictates, the festival offers dishes based on local potatoes, in a popular festival setting with music and conviviality in the green Savona hinterland.
The detailed program will be defined by the organizing committee.
