Garfagnana Engines & Flavors

Garfagnana Engines & Flavors in Castelnuovo di Garfagnana

In the heart of the Garfagnana, one of the greenest and most authentic valleys in Tuscany, Garfagnana Engines & Flavors turns the Piazzale Chiappini in Castelnuovo di Garfagnana (Lucca province) into a massive motor village. The event was born from the fusion of two deeply felt local traditions: a passion for motors, celebrated through annual rallies, and a love for the culinary specialties that only this land can offer.

The Motor Village

For two days, the square hosts a true exhibition of cars, motorcycles, Piaggio Vespas, three-wheeled Ape vehicles, and off-roaders: if it has an engine, it belongs here. Alongside local dealerships, special vehicles, and vintage cars, there are plenty of surprises, such as the exhibition of historic chainsaws and themed merchandise stalls. It is a unique opportunity for enthusiasts to see iconic vehicles and collector's models up close.

Flavors of the Garfagnana

In the covered area, the Motor street food section comes to life, with food stands offering dishes made exclusively from local Garfagnana products. It is the perfect chance to discover the cuisine of a region famous for its PGI spelt, potato bread, mountain cheeses, and cured meats, all in a convivial atmosphere that lasts throughout the weekend.

Fun for Everyone

The event is designed for children and families alike: mini-motorbikes for kids, rides on giant tractors, rally cars, road safety education sessions, and test drives of electric cars and motorcycles. Between rallies, parades, and entertainment, Garfagnana Engines & Flavors is a popular festival that showcases the best of the region, from engines to the dinner table, in the stunning setting of the Garfagnana.
