Sila Potato Festival in Lagarò Lupinacci

The excellence of the Sila land

From September 4th to 6th, the hamlet of Lagarò Lupinacci, in the municipality of Celico, hosts the new edition of the Sila Potato Festival. The event aims to celebrate the Sila PGI Potato, a product that represents the agricultural identity of the Calabrian plateau, renowned for its organoleptic characteristics derived from the unique mountain microclimate and the quality of the cultivation soils.

A historical and landscape context

The event finds its ideal setting among the hills of the Sila, a landscape characterized by unique plant biodiversity and a history inextricably linked to pastoral and agricultural activity. Celico, a village that preserves the typical features of rural Calabrian architecture, serves as the stage for this meeting between quality agricultural production and visitors, offering an authentic perspective on mountain life.

The food and wine journey

The core of the experience is the tasting route set up along the village areas, where the Sila Potato is prepared according to local traditional recipes. Artisan processing and the use of zero-kilometer ingredients define the culinary offer, allowing visitors to deepen their knowledge of the varieties of this tuber and the processing methods preserved by the Sila gastronomic culture.

Music and entertainment

Alongside the promotion of agri-food products, the program includes a series of moments of conviviality. Live music, focused on the revival of folk sounds, will accompany the three days, creating a climate of community that actively involves both the local population and tourists. Attention to families and the provision of entertainment spaces complete a program designed to promote the tangible and intangible heritage of the Celico area.

Logistical information

The event takes place regularly on the indicated dates, offering free access to the food stalls and exhibition areas. For those who wish to have more information on the daily program or parking logistics, it is recommended to consult the official communication channels of the local administration. As a landmark for late-summer Calabrian food and wine, the event guarantees full coverage of the services necessary to welcome the public.
