Sant'Anna Festival

The 2025 edition

In 2025, the Sant'Anna Festival in Casali di Poggio Nativo returned in the second half of July with its proven formula: food stands open every evening, the two festivals that constitute its trademark—the fregnacce alla sabinese and the gnocchi al castrato—and a lineup of musical evenings that drew audiences from the entire province of Rieti and the Roman area.

The event, organized as always by the Comitato Casali di Poggio Nativo, alternated between the convivial and religious dimensions, with celebrations and the procession dedicated to the patron saint, and closed with the traditional fireworks display. The turnout was such that the festival was one of the most cited in the Lazio food festival calendars that summer.
