The wild boar festival in the hamlet of Osteria del Gatto
The Sagra del Cinghiale takes place every summer in the hamlet of Osteria del Gatto, in Fossato di Vico, a village in the Umbrian Apennines in the province of Perugia. It is one of the many gastronomic festivals that characterize August in Umbria, dedicated to an iconic product of these mountains: wild boar.
The absolute star is local cuisine, with typical dishes and wild boar specialties from the area. The food stalls are accompanied each evening by shows and entertainment, in a festive atmosphere that attracts residents and visitors from nearby towns.
Like many festivals in the Apennines, the event is an occasion for community gathering: music, dancing, and outdoor evenings make Osteria del Gatto a small focal point of the Fossato summer. An authentic way to discover the gastronomic tradition of the Umbria Region away from the more famous destinations.
The Sagra del Cinghiale returns in August 2026 to the hamlet of Osteria del Gatto, in Fossato di Vico (province of Perugia). This year again, the festival will focus on local wild boar specialties and typical Umbrian cuisine, accompanied each evening by shows and entertainment.
The precise dates for the 2026 edition have not yet been published: last year the festival took place in the first ten days of August. The detailed program will be communicated by the organizers in the weeks preceding the event.
The detailed program for the 2026 edition has not yet been published. As per tradition, the festival includes the evening opening of the food stalls with wild boar specialties and typical Umbrian dishes, and live music or entertainment every evening. Dates and details will be announced by the organizers.
Osteria del Gatto is a hamlet of Fossato di Vico, along the SS3 Flaminia, in the Umbrian Apennines in the province of Perugia. The festival takes place in the hamlet's spaces.
Updated dates and program are published each year on the event's channels and on UmbriaEventi.com. Food stalls and evening entertainment throughout the festival evenings.
