The combination of Comacchio and eel is inseparable because it evokes the fishing valleys, the celebration of fish in all the gastronomic nuances that tradition gives.

The Festival is ready to start again, amid the colors of the sky and the lights of the water, the sounds of nature and the charm of popular culture, for 3 special weekends :

  • sept. 26 and 27
  • oct. 3 and 4
  • oct. 10 and 11

On the days of the festival, from early in the morning until late in the evening, the historic center of Comacchio comes alive with a lively market. The streets, from the Manifattura dei Marinati to the monumental Trepponti, are filled with colorful stalls where you can discover typical food products, local handicrafts, artistic creations, objects of yesteryear, works of genius, collectibles and many curiosities.

To enrich the experience, a rich calendar of events: concerts, shows, cultural meetings, excursions to the Comacchio Valleys and guided tours to discover the town. There will also be activities for children, showcooking and tastings of local specialties.
