Street food, live music, and engines in the heart of Maranello
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
