Fried Ascolana Olive Festival and Local Products

Fried Ascolana Olive Festival 2025 — The Fiftieth Anniversary

The 2025 edition celebrated the half-century mark of the festival: the 50th edition took place from August 8 to 12, 2025, at the Parco Comunale Il Boschetto in Monteprandone (Ascoli Piceno), organized by the Pro Loco Monteprandone.

For five evenings, the food stalls offered the Ascolana olive in its classic version alongside variations with fish, truffle, and cheese, as well as a traditional first course and other local products made with ingredients from regional farms. Local wines, live music, shows, and entertainment for children were also featured. A celebratory edition that showcased half a century of tradition and the productive realities of the Piceno area.
