About Festival dal Macarùn
The festival of Mantuan macaroni
The Festa dal Macarùn is one of the tastiest gastronomic festivals in the Mantua area: it is held in the hamlet of Cappelletta, in the municipality of Borgo Virgilio (Province of Mantua). The dialectal name refers to the absolute protagonist of the festival, macaroni ("macarùn"), served with various types of sauce.
Mantuan cuisine on the table
Alongside the macaroni, the menu offers the great classics of Mantuan tradition — from risotto alla pilota to grilled meats — along with more contemporary proposals designed for younger people. The food service opens every evening at 7:30 PM, at the parish sports field in Cappelletta, at via San Cataldo 1.
Music and shows
The evenings are accompanied by live music, DJ sets and shows: from 90s tributes to dance orchestras, from bands paying homage to the 883 to themed parties. With free admission and no need for reservation, the Festa dal Macarùn is the classic Mantuan village festival, capable of uniting different generations around good food and music.
