Sagra della Boscaiola
Truffle, mushrooms, and Umbrian cuisine in the hamlet of Bosco
About Sagra della Boscaiola
The flavours of the woods just a stone's throw from Perugia
The Sagra della Boscaiola is held in Bosco, a hamlet of the Municipality of Perugia nestled in the countryside northeast of the provincial capital. Organised by the local Pro Loco (tourist board), it is a gastronomic festival that celebrates the products of the woods and the traditional Umbrian cuisine of the past, and which over time has grown to become one of the most popular events in the Perugia area in June.
Cuisine that smells of truffle and mushrooms
The common thread of the menu is the woods and its fruits. Among the specialities you can taste at the stands:
- Dishes with fresh Umbrian truffle
- Mushrooms cooked according to tradition
- Handmade gnocchi
- Crispy arvoltoli, the typical Umbrian fried pasta
All prepared by Pro Loco volunteers with local products, in a menu that changes from evening to evening but remains faithful to the local peasant cuisine.
The best dance orchestras in Umbria
The Boscaiola is not just about gastronomy: every evening the stage hosts the most popular dance orchestras in the region, with a paved dance floor where people dance to liscio (traditional Italian ballroom dance) until late at night. It is this combination of good food and live music that makes the festival an eagerly awaited event for the entire community of Bosco and the surrounding villages.
Sagra della Boscaiola — edition 2026
The Sagra della Boscaiola 2026, now in its 19th edition, enlivens the hamlet of Bosco in Perugia from June 5th to 14th. For ten evenings, the Pro Loco stands offer Umbrian woodland cuisine — fresh truffle, mushrooms, handmade gnocchi, and arvoltoli — with table service starting at 7:30 PM.
