The Castrato Festival returns on 25 October 2026 to the heart of Brisighella, celebrating one of the most authentic symbols of the culinary tradition of the Romagna hills: the castrato, together with the agnellone, the undisputed stars of this eagerly awaited autumn event.
The event pays tribute to the certified meats of the Lamone Valley, showcased through traditional recipes that highlight the intense and authentic flavour of the raw ingredients.

For the occasion, the village is transformed into a veritable stage of flavour: food stalls, enticing aromas and convivial tables welcome visitors and enthusiasts, offering an authentic experience celebrating the finest Romagna cuisine.
To round off the day, craft markets and entertainment make the atmosphere even livelier, blending tradition, culture and conviviality.
The Castrato Festival is an unmissable event for anyone wishing to discover the region’s most authentic flavours and spend a day immersed in the traditions of Brisighella.
