About Sagra del Pesce di Borghetto
A festival that involves the whole village
The Sagra del Pesce di Borghetto is one of the longest-running and most beloved gastronomic events on Lake Trasimeno. It takes place in Borghetto, a small hamlet of Tuoro sul Trasimeno (province of Perugia) nestled between Umbria and Tuscany, and for almost sixty years it has involved the entire community in its organization.
The flavors of the lake
The absolute star is lake fish, cooked according to traditional Trasimeno recipes: from tegamaccio (the famous lake fish soup) to perch fillets, from regina in porchetta to fried fish, as well as other local catches. The food stalls open in the evening, typically from 7:00 PM to midnight, in a popular festive atmosphere.
History and community
Now in its 58th edition, the festival has a long history that attracts visitors from all over the region and neighboring Tuscany every summer. More than just a gastronomic event, it is an event of identity for Borghetto and the entire Trasimeno area, where lake cuisine intertwines with the conviviality of the village.
