About Michettin Festival
A festival that smells of tradition
In the hamlet of San Giorgio d'Albenga (Province of Savona), nestled in the fertile Albenga plain, the Michettin Festival is an event that has been awaited for over forty years. Now in its forty-third edition in 2026, the festival takes place at the hamlet's parish church and represents one of the most vibrant moments of the Albenga hinterland summer.
Local cuisine and Agricultural Exhibition
The festival is traditionally combined with the Agricultural Exhibition, which celebrates the agricultural vocation of the Albenga plain – one of Liguria's most productive areas, known for its vegetables and typical products. Among gastronomic stands, local specialties, and convivial evenings, the event intertwines the pleasure of food with the promotion of the territory's agricultural excellence.
The festival of the San Giorgio community
With its long history, the Michettin Festival is above all an identity event for the community of San Giorgio d'Albenga, which gathers every year around the stoves and tables to renew a tradition that is part of the social fabric of the hamlet and the entire Albenga area.
Michettin Festival — edition 2026
The 43rd edition of the Michettin Festival enlivens the San Giorgio d'Albenga hamlet from July 21 to 26, 2026. At the parish church, gastronomic stands offer local specialties, while the event is traditionally paired with the Agricultural Exhibition, a showcase of the fruit and vegetable excellences of the Albenga plain.
