The village festival of Tordandrea with Umbrian cuisine and dance music
A few kilometres from Assisi, immersed in the Umbrian Valley countryside, the hamlet of Tordandrea hosts one of the most beloved village festivals in the area every summer. Tordandrea in Festa was born from the Pro Loco's desire to keep alive the tradition of gathering, genuine cuisine, and dancing evenings that have marked generations of Umbrian summers.
The heart of the event is the gastronomic tavern, where volunteers prepare dishes from the Umbrian peasant tradition. The long tables set up in the centre of the village, along Via Enrico Fermi, welcome families, friends, and visitors from Assisi and nearby towns every evening.
The fun revolves around the dance music orchestras that liven up the village dance floor until late at night, with ballroom dancing, group dances, and the greatest hits of Italian popular music. It's a tried-and-tested formula that makes Tordandrea in Festa a point of reference for dance enthusiasts from all over the area.
The festival takes place in the village of Tordandrea, a hamlet in the Municipality of Assisi, in the province of Perugia. The Pro Loco Tordandrea also organises other events throughout the year, such as the Carnival masked ball and Autumn Flavours, but the summer edition represents the most cherished moment for the community.
For 2026, the Pro Loco Tordandrea confirms the formula that has made the festival famous: typical cuisine prepared by volunteers, convivial tables, and dancing under the stars. The event is held in the centre of the village, along Via Enrico Fermi, from July 10 to 19.
The detailed programme for the 2026 evenings, including the names of the dance music orchestras and the gastronomic calendar, will be published by Pro Loco Tordandrea on their official channels in the weeks preceding the event.
The usual format includes the opening of the tavern each evening with dishes from the Umbrian tradition, followed by musical entertainment with dance orchestras on the dance floor set up in the centre of the village.
Tordandrea is located in the plain between Assisi and Bastia Umbra, in the province of Perugia. It is easily reached by car from the E45 dual carriageway (Ospedalicchio exit) or from the state road towards Assisi. The nearest train station is Assisi-Santa Maria degli Angeli.
Free admission. For details on the menu and evening programme: Pro Loco Tordandrea, tel. +39 334 6608345, [email protected].
