Sagra dello Spaghetto
The pasta festival in Campocavallo di Osimo
About Sagra dello Spaghetto
The Sagra dello Spaghetto of Campocavallo
In the heart of the Marche summer, the hamlet of Campocavallo, on the outskirts of Osimo (in the province of Ancona), dedicates three evenings to the undisputed king of the Italian table: spaghetti. The Sagra dello Spaghetto is an eagerly awaited event in the Osimo sagre calendar, one of those village festivals where the community gathers around long tables, the stoves of volunteers, and music that accompanies the evenings until late.
A festival born around pasta
The common thread is simple and irresistible: spaghetti, offered in traditional Marche recipes and various sauce variations. The dishes are prepared on the spot by the food stalls managed by the volunteers of the hamlet's committee, who have been running this popular event for years. Alongside the pasta, other local flavours and desserts are available for a complete, authentic dinner.
Music, dancing, and village atmosphere
The Sagra dello Spaghetto is not just about food: every evening features live music and dancing, with orchestras and bands animating the dance floor set up in the park. It's a festive occasion for all ages, from families with children to fans of ballroom dancing and group dances, in a convivial atmosphere typical of Marche summers.
Where it takes place
The event is held in the equipped park of Campocavallo, a hamlet of Osimo. In recent years, the festival has found its home here, while redevelopment work funded by the PNRR (National Recovery and Resilience Plan) continues on the traditional Osimo Foro Boario (cattle market). Campocavallo is also known for its Sanctuary of the Blessed Sacrament, a pilgrimage site, and is one of the most vibrant centres in the municipality during the sagre season.
Part of Osimo's summer
The Sagra dello Spaghetto is part of a busy summer schedule that the Municipality of Osimo offers every year between June and September: from the Sagra del Leone (Lion Festival) to the Sagra della Grigliata (Grill Festival), from the Sagra della Rana (Frog Festival) to the Sagra della Bruschetta (Bruschetta Festival). A journey that tells, dish by dish, the food and wine tradition of Osimo and its hamlets, in the heart of the Marche region.
