About La Festa a la Bassa
The most authentic festival of Passo Ripe's summer
In the heart of summer, the small hamlet of Passo Ripe, in the Municipality of Trecastelli (province of Ancona, Marche), transforms into the meeting point for the entire Bassa Valle del Misa thanks to La Festa a la Bassa. The event, organized by the Circolo ANSPI of Passo Ripe, is now a fixed fixture on the Marche sagre calendar and attracts many visitors from neighboring municipalities every year.
Suckling pig in a clay pot, the true star
The signature dish of the festival is the original suckling pig cooked in a clay pot, a specialty rooted in the ancient peasant traditions of the area: the pork is slow-cooked in an earthenware pot, according to a recipe passed down through generations. Alongside the suckling pig, the food stalls offer numerous specialties of Marche cuisine, to be enjoyed in the Circolo's park, both outdoors and in covered areas.
Four evenings of food, music, and dancing
La Festa a la Bassa unfolds over four evenings full of flavors and cheer. In addition to good food, the program includes live music, dancing evenings, and entertainment designed for all ages, with games and prizes in the festival area. It is a village festival in the truest sense of the word: convivial, accessible, and suitable for families, groups of friends, and lovers of local gastronomic traditions.
An event rooted in the territory
The event takes place in the park of the Circolo ANSPI, in an intimate and familiar setting that distinguishes it from large commercial festivals. La Festa a la Bassa is a perfect opportunity to discover Marche conviviality and the simple flavors of the province of Ancona, in one of the most vibrant hamlets of the Municipality of Trecastelli during the summer season.
