Apple Festival: Thirtieth Anniversary of Agricultural Tradition

Thirty years of territorial identity

From September 18th to 20th, the region celebrates the 30th edition of the Apple Festival, a consolidated event that focuses on the enhancement of the local fruit and vegetable supply chain. This event represents a meeting point between rural knowledge and technological innovation applied to cultivation, attracting a diverse audience each year interested in the dynamics of the agricultural sector and the traditions of the district.

A prestigious historical context

The event takes place in the heart of the village, an urban space characterized by architectural layers that testify to centuries of rural history. The choice of location is no coincidence: the squares and streets of the center, with their original layout, become the ideal theater for the exhibition path dedicated to the various apple varieties. The preservation of the historic center gives the Apple Festival a suspended atmosphere, capable of engaging with the rustic and authentic character of the featured product.

The artistic and cultural program

The program of this anniversary edition is organized around a significant cultural proposal. Music plays a leading role, with performances ranging from acoustic to electronic dimensions. Among the highlights is the concert by Pierpaolo Foti, an artist who will bring a synthesis of sound research to the stage, followed by a DJ set from Alex Neri, an iconic figure in the contemporary electronic scene and member of Planet Funk. These performances are integrated with tasting workshops, technical conferences, and local farmers' markets, offering a comprehensive overview of the quality of seasonal fruits and techniques of industrial and artisanal processing.

Logistics and attendance

The Apple Festival is organized to ensure a smooth and accessible visitor experience. The exhibition areas open to the public from 10:00 AM and extend until late in the evening, following the schedule of musical programming. For access to the main evening events, it is recommended to check booking procedures through official channels. Signage at the access points to the village will facilitate orientation between the stands and the entertainment areas, ensuring easy use of spaces dedicated to conviviality and thematic study.
