The Canepina Chestnut Days awaits you in October with a calendar full of events, shows, parades and tastings. An entire month dedicated to Chestnut Festival, where every day offers new emotions among the alleys, scents and ancient traditions that live on in the heart of Tuscia.
The Chestnut Festival program opens with evocative historical parades: ladies, knights, flag-wavers, and musicians enliven the squares, transporting Canepina back to its medieval splendor. Historical parades, the Donkey Race, the Barrel Race, and performances in Piazza Garibaldi create an atmosphere that enchants visitors of all ages.
Throughout the festival period, the characteristic cellars dug into the tuff open their doors to visitors to offer the famous Canepinesi Maccaroni (Canepinese Hay), Ceciliani, local wine, and traditional desserts. This is the beating heart of the event: a journey through authentic flavors, human warmth, and conviviality that only Canepina can offer.
The Canepina Chestnut Days program includes musical evenings, live concerts, and entertainment for all ages. From folk orchestras to modern bands, every weekend is a celebration of sound and color, with free events in the town squares and distribution of the inevitable roasted chestnuts.
Alongside the culinary offerings, the program also offers excursions, mushroom exhibitions, and equestrian gatherings, allowing visitors to rediscover the beauty of the area and its rich biodiversity. There are also moments dedicated to solidarity and rural traditions, which make this festival a true cultural heritage.
The Chestnut Festival program is designed for everyone: families, groups of friends, tourists, and foodies. It's a unique opportunity to discover a village that, amidst lights, music, and the scent of chestnuts, still tells its story with pride and passion.
