About Frog Festival
A Tradition of Over Forty Years
The Frog Festival is one of the most deeply rooted summer festivals in the Upper Tiber Valley. It takes place in the hamlet of Selci, in the municipality of San Giustino (Perugia), and has surpassed forty editions, a testament to its strong connection with the local community.
Fried Frog, the Signature Dish
The absolute star of the festival is fried frog, a specialty of peasant tradition that gives the event its name. At the food stalls, alongside the frogs, you can enjoy numerous other dishes from Umbrian and Upper Tiber Valley cuisine, offering a journey of flavors that is the true heart of the feast.
Performances, Music, and Fireworks
In addition to gastronomy, the Frog Festival features theatrical performances, music evenings, and the traditional fireworks, which draw crowds from the entire region.
