Edition 2025 — Festival of the King Mussel and the Queen Anchovy

In 2025, the Festival of the King Mussel and the Queen Anchovy enlivened the hamlet of Cadimare with its evenings dedicated to the flavors of the sea. Mussels, stuffed anchovies, and Ligurian specialties attracted numerous visitors, in a celebration that honors the maritime identity of this corner of La Spezia.

The 2025 edition of the Festival of the King Mussel and the Queen Anchovy confirmed the success of the gastronomic event in Cadimare. For several weekends, the hamlet was filled with stalls and visitors, drawn by the traditional dishes based on mussels and stuffed anchovies.

Organized by Pro Loco Cadimare, the festival combined gastronomy, music, and conviviality, strengthening the community's connection with its maritime roots and paving the way for the regional recognition obtained for 2026.
