About Sagra della Pannocchia
The corn festival in Tavernelle
The Sagra della Pannocchia is the late summer festival of Tavernelle, a hamlet in the municipality of Panicale, in the province of Perugia, along the route connecting Perugia to Lake Trasimeno. The event celebrates the corn cob, or maize, a product of local agricultural tradition, with a popular and convivial formula.
Cuisine, music, and dancing
For several days, Piazzale Amendola becomes the heart of the festival: food stalls offer typical dishes based on corn and local specialties, while dancing evenings with orchestras and shows liven up the August nights. It is the classic Umbrian village festival, where good food is accompanied by music and dancing under the stars.
A community tradition
Organized by the Pro Loco of Tavernelle, the Sagra della Pannocchia is an event eagerly awaited by the community and neighboring villages in the Trasimeno area. Visiting it means experiencing the authentic atmosphere of Umbrian summer festivals, made up of communal tables, folk music, and genuine products from the province of Perugia.
