The river crayfish is the star in Ponte Parrano di Nocera Umbra
In Ponte Parrano, a small hamlet in the municipality of Nocera Umbra (province of Perugia), the month of July brings a much-anticipated festival: the Sagra del Gambero di Fiume. The event celebrates river crayfish, a delicacy linked to the clean waterways of the Umbrian-Marche Apennines.
For a few days, the sports facilities of the hamlet are transformed into a large convivial space, with food stalls offering dishes based on river crayfish and local cuisine specialties, accompanied by live music and entertainment. It is the typical Umbrian village festival, where the quality of the food combines with a family atmosphere and the community's welcome.
Now in its eighth edition, the festival is a firm fixture of the Nocera summer and an opportunity to discover a niche local product, in an authentic corner of Umbria far from mass tourist circuits.
From July 16 to 19, 2026, Ponte Parrano, a hamlet of Nocera Umbra, hosts the 8th edition of the Sagra del Gambero di Fiume. At the hamlet's sports facilities, food stalls will offer dishes based on river crayfish and local specialties, accompanied by evenings of live music.
The detailed day-by-day program will be announced by the organizers in the weeks preceding the event. The usual structure includes:
Location: sports facilities of Ponte Parrano (Nocera Umbra).
Ponte Parrano is a hamlet of Nocera Umbra (PG), reachable by car from the SS3 Flaminia. The festival takes place at the sports facilities of the hamlet.
The event is held in July, over several consecutive days, in the evening.
Free admission to the festival area; food and drinks at the stalls are payable.
