International Street Food

The traveling street food festival in Porto San Giorgio

International Street Food is considered the largest traveling street food festival in Italy and visits dozens of cities across the country every year. One of its most anticipated stops of the season takes place in Porto San Giorgio, a lively seaside town in the province of Fermo, in the Marche region: for a long weekend, Viale Bruno Buozzi, a stone's throw from the seafront, transforms into a large open-air gastronomic village.

A village of flavors from around the world

The heart of the event is the dozens of selected food trucks and stands from all over Italy and abroad. Along the avenue, you'll find the most diverse street food specialties from regional and international cuisine: traditional Sicilian dishes, Puglian bombetta, grilled caciocavallo cheese, Abruzzese arrosticini, handmade Ascolana olives (a tribute to the Marche and Piceno territory), Roman pasta dishes and supplì, Angus and Scottish beef burgers, pulled pork and smash burgers, as well as more exotic offerings like Hungarian kürtőskalacs and Argentinian cuisine.

An event within the Patron Saint's Day celebrations

The Porto San Giorgio stop is not an isolated event: it is part of the rich program of the Festa del Patrono San Giorgio (Patron Saint's Day of San Giorgio), which enlivens the Municipality of Porto San Giorgio during the same period with a fair, concerts, and initiatives. Street food thus becomes the gastronomic hub of festive days that attract residents and local tourists along the Fermo Riviera.

Not just food: music and entertainment

Alongside the stands, the weekend offers live music and evening entertainment, with concerts and DJ sets that liven up the avenue until late at night. The event, curated by A.I.R.S. - Associazione Italiana Ristoratori Street Food (Italian Street Food Restaurateurs Association) chaired by Alfredo Orofino, has been a highly anticipated event for years among industry enthusiasts and has also been the setting for filming a television program dedicated to street food.
