About Maranello Food Fest

The Maranello Food Fest is the food and wine festival that opens the "Maranello June" in the Municipality of Maranello, in the province of Modena. For three evenings, Piazza Amendola and Parco Due are filled with food stalls, live music, sports performances, markets, car and motorcycle exhibitions, and many activities for children. A popular and free event that combines the specialties of Emilian tradition with the rhythm of local bands, in the symbolic city of Italian engines.

A food and wine festival in the heart of the Land of Engines

The Maranello Food Fest is the event that officially kicks off the Maranello June, the summer event calendar for the Municipality of Maranello, in the province of Modena. For an entire weekend, Piazza Amendola and the nearby Parco Due become the hub of city life, with an outdoor gastronomic area, stages for live music, markets, and spaces dedicated to families and children.

Flavors of Emilian tradition

The heart of the festival is, of course, the food. Every evening, starting at 7 PM, the gastronomic area comes alive with typical specialties from the Modena area and Emilia-Romagna: crescentine, borlenghi, piadine, pizza, grilled meat, ice cream, cocktails, and drinks. There are also stalls for celiacs, designed to offer an accessible experience for everyone.

Music, sports, and engines

In addition to good food, the Maranello Food Fest offers a rich entertainment program: concerts and live bands that liven up the evenings, martial arts and combat sports performances, rugby demonstrations, and, of course, the unmissable car and motorcycle exhibitions, a fitting tribute to the city that hosts the Ferrari headquarters and is known worldwide as the capital of engines.

Space for families

Great attention is given to children, with children's markets, creative workshops, animated readings, games, and entertainment moments spread throughout the festival days. Admission to the event is free.

A local event

Organized by the Consorzio Terra del Mito in collaboration with the municipal administration of Maranello, the Food Fest is one of the most anticipated events at the beginning of summer, capable of attracting residents and visitors from neighboring municipalities in the Ceramic District and the entire province of Modena.
