Sagra della Ranocchia di Selci
The fried frog festival in the village of Selci
About Sagra della Ranocchia
A tradition of over forty years
The Sagra della Ranocchia is one of the most established summer festivals in the Upper Tiber Valley: it takes place in the hamlet of Selci, in the municipality of San Giustino (Perugia), and has surpassed forty editions, a sign of a deep connection with the local community.
Fried frog, the signature dish
The absolute star of the sagra is fried frog, a specialty of peasant tradition that gives the event its name. At the food stalls, alongside the frogs, you can enjoy numerous other dishes of Umbrian and Upper Tiber Valley cuisine, in a journey of flavours that is the true heart of the festival.
Performances, music, and fireworks
In addition to gastronomy, the Sagra della Ranocchia offers theatre performances, music evenings, and the traditional fireworks, which attract crowds from all over the area. A very important event for Selci and for the entire San Giustino territory, where conviviality, tradition, and village celebration merge on warm July evenings.
