About Massetane Days

In the heart of the medieval village of Massa Martana, at the foot of the Martani Mountains in the province of Perugia, the Massa Martana Days have been the highlight of the summer since 1965. The event brings Piazza Umberto I and Parco Gubbiotti to life with the Castle Tavern, artisanal gelato, dancing, live shows, and a 'White Night' of music and folklore: an appointment that blends local culinary traditions with culture and entertainment, from sunset until late at night.

The most anticipated festival in Massa Martana

The Massa Martana Days are the highlight of the summer in Massa Martana, a small town in the province of Perugia nestled among the Martani Mountains. Organized since 1965 by the 'Pro Massa Martana' Tourist Association, the event transforms Piazza Umberto I, Parco G. Gubbiotti, and the streets of the historic center into a grand stage for flavors, culture, and music.

The Castle Tavern and local flavors

The gastronomic heart of the festival is the Castle Tavern, set up in Parco G. Gubbiotti, which offers traditional local dishes. There is also the artisanal gelato street, with 'Gelato in Piazza' in Piazza Umberto I, while the Consortium Outdoor Theater Arena hosts the Pub ZeroSessanta 56. A selection that showcases the food and wine identity of the Martani Mountains.

Culture, shows, and the White Night

The Massa Martana Days are not just about gastronomy: the most awaited moment is August 14th with the big party night, from sunset to dawn, featuring music, dancing, DJ sets, and folklore. An event of such appeal that it even requires temporary traffic changes on the SR 316 road of the Martani Mountains.

Massetane Days โ€” edition 2026

The Giornate Massetane festival brings Massa Martana to life from August 9 to 16, 2026. Join us in Piazza Umberto I, Parco Gubbiotti, and the historic center for the Taverna del Castello, artisanal gelato, live performances, and the big all-night party on Friday, August 14.

The 2026 edition of the Giornate Massetane takes place from Sunday, August 9 to Sunday, August 16, 2026, in the historic center of Massa Martana. The Taverna del Castello will be set up in Parco G. Gubbiotti, while the "Gelato in Piazza" event brings artisanal ice cream to Piazza Umberto I, and the Consortium Outdoor Theater Arena hosts the Pub ZeroSessanta 56.
