Sea and Taste Festival - Lascari Stop

The Sea and Taste Festival in Lascari

The Sea and Taste Festival is a traveling event that enlivens the villages of the Costa d'Oro—the stretch of Tyrrhenian coastline between Bagheria and Pollina in the province of Palermo—throughout the summer. The festival is promoted by the FLAG GALP Golfo di Termini Imerese with the aim of highlighting the maritime economy, local cultural identity, and sustainable, authentic tourism. Among the ten participating municipalities is Lascari, a small town in the Palermo area overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, famous for its stunning Belvedere Karapè, a panoramic terrace that serves as the natural stage for the Lascari stop.

Seafood flavors and sunset music

The evening follows the format that has made the festival a beloved fixture along the entire Costa d'Oro: it begins at dusk with a free tasting of local seafood, prepared according to traditional Sicilian recipes, and continues with a jazz concert under the stars. In Lascari, the audience has been able to savor dishes such as sarde a beccafico, pasta con le sarde, seafood couscous, anchovy meatballs, caponata with fried octopus, and swordfish with honey and mint, in a journey that tells the story of the deep bond between the village and its sea.

A journey through nature, taste, and culture

The Lascari stop is part of a broader program that, throughout the summer, offers not only tastings and concerts but also guided excursions to discover archaeological sites, nature reserves, historic villas, and heritage sites in northern Sicily. The La Costa d'Oro territorial brand brings together the municipalities of Bagheria, Santa Flavia, Casteldaccia, Altavilla Milicia, Trabia, Termini Imerese, Campofelice di Roccella, Lascari, Cefalù, and Pollina into a single experiential itinerary, offering visitors a mosaic of landscapes, flavors, and traditions of the province of Palermo.
