Puglia Festival

Puglia in Cassano Magnago

The Puglia Festival brings the flavors of Southern Italy to the Maggiolone Social Park in Cassano Magnago, a municipality in the Province of Varese. In early May, the festival area on Via Primo Maggio transforms into a corner of Puglia, with the most typical dishes of Puglian gastronomic tradition taking center stage.

Dishes of Puglian Tradition

The menu is a journey through the flavors of the South: the mixed appetizer with tomato frisella, scagliozze, capocollo, mozzarella nodino, and pettole with olives; among the first and second courses, orecchiette with turnip greens, the famous bombette with fries, and meatballs in sauce. There are also stuffed puccia and street food like panzerotti. A culinary experience that, as the presentation states, takes you directly into the heart of Puglia with intense aromas and traditional recipes.

Service and Atmosphere

Service is at the table, with online booking recommended, but takeaway is also available for those who prefer to enjoy Puglian dishes at home. The atmosphere is convivial and welcoming, characteristic of all the themed festivals at Maggiolone Social Park, designed to showcase regional Italian cuisines.

An Indoor Celebration

Like other events of the season, the festival takes place in the park's festival area, under a covered structure that ensures the celebration continues even in case of bad weather. This free-admission event enriches Cassano Magnago's gastronomic calendar, confirming the Varese area's dedication to festivals celebrating Italian flavors.
