Scapriano Calzone Festival
Seven nights of calzones, arrosticini, and live music in the village of Scapriano
About Calzone Festival
The Scapriano Calzone Festival
In Scapriano, a village in the municipality of Teramo in Abruzzo, summer has an unmistakable scent: that of freshly baked calzones. The Calzone Festival, organized by the Scapriano Cultural Association, is a staple of the Teramo July calendar, drawing hundreds of people from the city and neighboring towns every night. The absolute star is the calzone, the stuffed specialty that gives the event its name, served alongside a rich array of traditional Abruzzese dishes.
A week-long celebration
The festival spans seven consecutive nights. Every evening, starting at 7:00 PM, the food stalls open, while from 9:00 PM the stage comes alive with live music, shows, and dancing. It is a proven formula that combines great food with entertainment, designed for audiences of all ages, from families with children to groups of friends.
What to eat
The menu revolves around the famous calzone, but the selection is vast: arrosticini (lamb skewers) cooked over charcoal, sausage sandwiches, olive all'ascolana (stuffed fried olives), fried dough with prosciutto, and local cured meats and cheeses. A parade of authentic flavors that tells the story of Abruzzese popular cuisine, to be enjoyed outdoors in the heart of the village.
Where and when
The evenings take place in Piazzale Eleuterio Di Eleuterio, the area next to the Scapriano sports hall, easily accessible from the center of Teramo. The event is held every year in July and is an opportunity to discover an authentic village in the Abruzzo capital, far from the most beaten tourist paths, and to experience the conviviality typical of local village festivals.
