Edition 2025 — Frandura Festival

On August 24, 2025, Montalto Ligure celebrated the Frandura Festival, the De.Co. potato cake festival. Tasting from 12:00 PM, guided tours of churches and monuments, craft market, entertainment for children, and the usual potato contest animated the village in the Imperia hinterland.

The 2025 edition took place on Sunday, August 24 in Montalto Ligure, confirming the tradition of one of the most beloved August festivals in the western hinterland. The star was frandura, the De.Co. potato cake, offered for tasting in its original recipe starting at noon, along with other valley cuisine dishes.

The day combined taste and culture: the opening of churches and monuments with guided tours, the craft market, entertainment for children, and in the afternoon, the jovial contest for the biggest, smallest, and strangest potato, all accompanied by music and dancing. A festival organized by the Pro Loco of Montalto with the Municipality of Montalto Carpasio.
