About Sagra delle Salsicce

On Ferragosto, Longano, a village in the province of Isernia, celebrates one of its specialties with the Sagra delle Salsicce (Sausage Festival).

The Longano sausage celebrates

The Sagra delle Salsicce is the gastronomic event of Ferragosto (mid-August holiday) in Longano, a municipality in the province of Isernia. The stars are the artisanal sausages produced according to the traditional village recipe, grilled in the square and served at the stalls along with other local typical products.

A strong culinary tradition

In Longano, the sausage tradition is particularly rooted, and the Ferragosto festival is the moment when this identity flavour becomes a community celebration. Amidst the aroma of the grills, music, and conviviality, the event attracts residents, holidaymakers, and Longano natives who have emigrated, during the liveliest period of the village's summer.

Longano in summer

The Sagra delle Salsicce is part of Longano's rich summer calendar, which also includes the festival of the patron saint San Donato at the beginning of August with the famous Sagra della Trippa (Tripe Festival), confirming the gastronomic vocation of this small municipality in the province of Isernia.
