About Festa di Fine Estate

At the end of August, Lupara, a village in the province of Campobasso in the Biferno valley, bids farewell to summer with its Festa di Fine Estate (End of Summer Festival), organised by the Pro Loco. An evening dedicated to typical Molise dishes — from tacchozze al sugo to peperoni cacio e ova — accompanied by group dances and music with a DJ, in a convivial event that brings the community together before returning to everyday life.

Lupara's summer says goodbye with a festival

The Festa di Fine Estate is the convivial event with which Lupara, a municipality in the province of Campobasso in the Biferno valley, closes the summer season. Organised by the Pro Loco Lupara, the evening takes place at the end of August and brings together residents, holidaymakers, and locals who have returned to the village for their holidays.

Flavours and dances

The stars of the show are the typical Molise dishes: from tacchozze al sugo to peperoni cacio e ova, the festival is a tribute to local cuisine. Accompanying the tastings are group dances and music with a DJ, for an evening of outdoor fun and socialising, held in the area of via Camposportivo.

A community festival

Simple and genuine, the Festa di Fine Estate embodies the spirit of a small Molise village that uses conviviality and gastronomic tradition as a moment of cohesion, collectively bidding farewell to the end of summer in the Biferno valley.

Festa di Fine Estate — edition 2026

In 2026, the Pro Loco Lupara will once again organise the Festa di Fine Estate, with typical Molise dishes, group dances, and a DJ to close the village's summer season. The precise date will be announced by the organisation in the weeks prior.

In 2026, the Festa di Fine Estate returns to Lupara, organised by the Pro Loco Lupara. As tradition dictates, the late August evening offers typical Molise dishes — tacchozze al sugo, peperoni cacio e ova — accompanied by group dances and music with a DJ, in the area of via Camposportivo. The exact date will be announced by the organisation in the weeks prior.
