About Lamb Festival of Villanova

In Villanova, a hamlet of Marsciano in the heart of the province of Perugia, the Lamb and Typical Umbrian Products Festival has been celebrating the best gastronomic tradition of the area for over thirty years. The absolute star is the expertly cooked lamb, accompanied by typical Umbrian products and, on warm summer evenings, by fresh fruit salads. Organized by the Pro Loco of Villanova, the festival combines good food and live music in an atmosphere of authentic village celebration.

Lamb takes center stage in Villanova

In the hamlet of Villanova, in Marsciano (province of Perugia), the Lamb and Typical Umbrian Products Festival reaches its 36th edition in 2026. It is one of the longest-standing and most beloved festivals in the Marsciano area, an event that the Pro Loco of Villanova meticulously organizes to promote local gastronomy.

Flavors of Umbrian tradition

The specialty is, of course, the exquisite expertly cooked lamb, served according to traditional Umbrian peasant recipes. The menu is complemented by local products and, to combat the summer heat, by the fresh fruit salads that have become a classic of the festival.
