About Spaghetti Festival
The Spaghetti Festival 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 Spaghetti Festival is an anticipated event in the calendar of Osimo's festivals, one of those village feasts where the community gathers around long tables, the volunteers' stoves, 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 with various sauce variations. The dishes are prepared on the spot at the food stalls managed by volunteers from the hamlet's committee, who have been running this popular event for years. Alongside pasta, other local flavors and desserts are available for a complete meal focused on authenticity.
Music, dancing, and village atmosphere
The Spaghetti Festival 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 continues on the traditional Osimo Forum Boarium. Campocavallo is also known for its Sanctuary of the Blessed Sacrament, a pilgrimage site, and represents one of the most vibrant centers of the municipal area during the festival season.
Part of Osimo's summer
The Spaghetti Festival is part of a packed summer program that the Municipality of Osimo offers every year between June and September: from the Lion Festival to the Barbecue Festival, from the Frog Festival to the 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.
