Spaghetti for everyone and a dance evening under the stars
The Tufara Spaghetti Festival is one of the longest-running and most attended gastronomic festivals in the Molise village in the province of Campobasso. Organized by the Pro Loco Tufara, the event boasts a history of over fifty years of editions, a testament to the community's strong connection with this summer event.
The heart of the festival is the distribution of free spaghetti for everyone: a gesture of conviviality that attracts residents, visitors, and returning emigrants. Around the tables, the festival becomes an occasion for the entire town to meet and celebrate.
The evening continues with music, dancing, and moments of local tradition, in a summer atmosphere that enlivens the center of Tufara. The Spaghetti Festival is one of those events that tell the most authentic identity of the villages of Molise, where the table is the place of community.
