Strettola Spring Festival

The Strettola Spring Festival

The Strettola Spring Festival is the event that welcomes the arrival of spring in Castelnuovo della Daunia, a small town in the Subappennino Dauno in the province of Foggia, in the heart of the Apulian Daunia. The event takes place in the picturesque Strettola area, a corner of the countryside at the gates of the town, where nature, tranquility, and local flavors provide the backdrop for a festive evening open to everyone.

A journey through flavors, music, and conviviality

The festival combines tradition, conviviality, and entertainment in a single evening. The heart of the event is the food and wine trail, which guides visitors to discover local products, traditional dishes, and the specialties of Daunian cuisine, highlighting the excellence of the Apulian territory.

Accompanying the tastings is music: folk music performances, live concerts, and DJ sets enliven the evening and engage every age group, in a cheerful atmosphere that continues late into the night.

A festival for the whole community

Originally launched as a Spring Festival, the event is an open invitation to residents, families, and visitors: an opportunity to gather outdoors, rediscover a sense of community, and experience the hospitality of the Daunia region. The event is promoted and organized by the Pro Loco G.B. Trotta APS of Castelnuovo della Daunia, which is active in promoting local traditions and heritage.

Castelnuovo della Daunia and the Subappennino

Nestled among the hills of the Subappennino Dauno, the Municipality of Castelnuovo della Daunia preserves the charm of the rural villages of northern Apulia, far from the beaten path. The Strettola Spring Festival is one of the events that brings the town's spring to life, combining the rediscovery of genuine flavors with the pleasure of being together, and offering visitors an authentic glimpse into this corner of the Capitanata.
