Fish Festival of Montoggio
Fish takes centre stage in the Genoa hinterland, with seafood menus and an evening of dancing
About Fish Festival of Montoggio
The Sea in the Scrivia Valley
In Montoggio, a Municipality in the Metropolitan City of Genoa nestled in the upper Scrivia Valley, the Fish Festival is one of the most beloved gastronomic events of the season. Curiously, it is precisely in the hinterland, far from the coast, that fish becomes the protagonist of a keenly felt village festival, organised by the Pro Loco Montoggese.
A Menu That is a Guarantee
The heart of the festival is the table. The menu, tested over the years, offers linguine with fish sauce, trenette with pesto, baked prawns, fried fish, chips, and dessert. A proposal that combines the flavours of the sea with the Ligurian tradition of the land, such as pesto, in a balance typical of regional cuisine.
Festival and Dancing
In addition to gastronomy, the festival is an occasion for celebration: the evening comes alive with dancing and live music, in a cheerful atmosphere that involves families and visitors. For those who want to discover the Genoa hinterland and the Scrivia Valley, the Montoggio Fish Festival is the ideal opportunity for an evening of taste and conviviality.
