Moiano Snail Festival
In Moiano... not just snails
About Snail Festival
The snail reigns supreme in Moiano
The Moiano Snail Festival is one of the most cherished gastronomic events of the summer in the Lake Trasimeno area. It takes place in Moiano, a hamlet of Città della Pieve in the province of Perugia, and celebrates a dish of Umbrian peasant tradition: the snail, passed down from generation to generation by the village families.
A menu for all tastes
The undisputed protagonist is naturally the snail, cooked according to the local recipe, but the menu is extensive and curated by the cooks of Moiano, with many typical dishes and local products to satisfy even those who don't like snails. The festival's motto — 'he who goes slowly goes healthily and goes to Moiano' — well conveys the convivial and relaxed spirit of the feast.
Music, dancing, and fun
In addition to the food, the festival offers dancing evenings with the best Umbrian orchestras, live concerts, an outdoor dance floor, games for the little ones, and a bar. The spaces include the indoor party hall and a large outdoor area, to enjoy summer evenings in good company.
Organized by the village
The event is promoted by Arci Moiano APS and the festival committee of the village, with the work of community volunteers: a popular festival that combines gastronomy, tradition, and social life in the heart of Umbria.
