About Puglia Folk Food Fest
Puglia Arrives at Parco Nord
The Puglia Folk Food Fest transforms Parco Nord in San Giuliano Milanese, within the Metropolitan City of Milan, into a corner of Salento and Puglia. Apulian cuisine, products, and recipes, along with popular music, are at the heart of a festival celebrating Southern tradition through folk music and gastronomy.
Flavours of the Heel of Italy
The stars of the table are handmade orecchiette, hot panzerotti, and other specialties prepared by true masters of Apulian cuisine, accompanied by wines from Puglia. A journey of taste bringing the authentic flavours of the Apulian land to Lombardy.
Pizzica and Music Under the Stars
The soundtrack of the festival is the Salento pizzica: the audience is swept away by the rhythm of the taranta and dances under the stars to the sound of accordions, rediscovering the true soul of Southern Italy. The entertainment, curated by Corte di Menelao, includes comedy, live music, magic, stilt walkers, fire eaters, face painting, and many attractions for families.
A Festival for Everyone
With free admission, the Puglia Folk Food Fest is a recurring event that combines gastronomy, music, and fun, confirming itself as one of the most vibrant food and wine events in Parco Nord, San Giuliano Milanese.
