Global street food arrives in Piazza della Repubblica, Aulla
This edition has not been confirmed by the organiser to date. We recommend checking before going.
The Street Food Fiesta Loca is a traveling event that brings the best street food to squares across Tuscany and Italy. One of its most anticipated stops is Aulla, in the province of Massa-Carrara, nestled in the heart of Lunigiana. For a few days, the central Piazza della Repubblica fills with food trucks, enticing aromas, and music, becoming a gathering point for families, young people, and food enthusiasts.
The event follows the classic street food festival format: a selection of trucks serving national and international cuisines, allowing visitors to take a mini-tour of the world without leaving the center of Aulla. The offerings include traditional Italian specialties alongside Mexican, Brazilian, Spanish, German, and other international dishes to satisfy every palate.
The Street Food Fiesta Loca is about more than just gastronomy; the goal is to create a true fiesta in the square. Alongside the food stands, the organizers provide entertainment, including face painting, stilt walkers, and fire shows that liven up the evenings and make the event suitable for the whole family. Admission is free, inviting residents and visitors alike to stroll freely among the stalls.
Located at the confluence of the Magra and Aulella rivers, Aulla is a gateway to Lunigiana, a land of villages, castles, and ancient pilgrimage routes like the Via Francigena. Events like the Street Food Fiesta Loca help enliven the town center and showcase this corner of northern Tuscany, where street food meets local culinary traditions, from the famous Aulla focaccette to regional specialties.
The festival is part of a touring circuit that visits numerous towns in Tuscany and Emilia throughout the year. The Aulla stop is a highlight of this calendar, offering the people of Lunigiana the chance to enjoy a convivial and tasty event without traveling far from home.
The Street Food Fiesta Loca returns to enliven Aulla, in Lunigiana, with a spring stop in Piazza della Repubblica. As in previous editions, the square hosts food trucks with national and international street food, accompanied by craft beer and a festive atmosphere.
For children, there is an entertainment program with face painting, stilt walkers, and fire shows, while admission remains free. The date indicated for 2026 is May 22-24; the detailed program and hours are communicated by the organization on the official Facebook page.
