About Pasta and Beans Festival
The summer festival in Campolieto
The Pasta and Beans Festival is one of the most anticipated gastronomic events of the summer in Campolieto, a village in the province of Campobasso. Now in its thirty-first edition, the festival takes place in Piazza San Giovanni and is organized by the Associazione Amici di Campolieto.
Traditional dishes
The star is the dish that gives the festival its name: pasta and beans, a simple and hearty recipe from Molise peasant cuisine. Alongside it, the stalls offer pork rind rolls and roasted sausage, in a menu that tells the authentic flavors of the territory.
Taste, music, and community
The evening, with stalls opening in the late evening, combines good food with musical entertainment, in a festive atmosphere that involves residents and visitors. The festival is also a moment of gathering for the community of Campolieto, which renews this summer event in the heart of the village every year.
