CHERRY FESTIVAL - PIETRACUTA
Every year, in the heart of the Romagna hills, Pietracuta is transformed into a lively center of celebration and gastronomy thanks to the Cherry Festival.
The fruit that gives its name to the festival, the cherry, is celebrated in all its forms. During the event, the streets of the town fill with stalls displaying fresh cherries and cherry-based products, such as jams, sweets, cakes and even liqueurs. Local producers are proud to show off the results of their hard work, offering sweet and juicy cherries, picked at the right time of ripeness.
But the Cherry Festival is not limited to the fruit itself. This event is also an opportunity to taste the typical dishes of Romagna cuisine. Restaurants and food stands prepare dishes ranging from traditional tagliatelle with ragù to meat-based second courses, up to desserts, all revisited with a touch of cherry.
The festival program includes activities for all ages: the little ones can have fun with games and creative workshops, while adults can take part in guided tastings and discover the secrets of traditional recipes. There is also no shortage of live music, dance shows and other artistic performances, which liven up the evenings and make the atmosphere even more special.
The Cherry Festival is also a wonderful opportunity to visit the village of Pietracuta, a small jewel nestled in the hills of Valmarecchia. Walking through its streets, you can breathe an air of authenticity and tranquility.
If you are a cherry lover or simply looking for an event that combines food, tradition and fun, the Pietracuta Cherry Festival is the perfect opportunity for you.
