Cupello Artichoke Festival

24 April - 3 May

Cupello Artichoke Festival

Cupello hosts its “Festival del Carciofo”, a flavourful event celebrating Cupello’s symbol: the purple-tinted Mazzaferrata artichoke, whose hearts are sweet and crunchy.

Conferences and cooking demonstrations, food stands, music, and shows transform the event into a pleasant journey to discover more about this delightful green vegetable.

Choose your preferred menu and enjoy the diversity of this seasonal crop. Meals are purchased upon entering the tent and the local people who step up as waiters for the weekend will bring your food to you at your table.

Each of the adult menu options includes an antipasto, a primo, and a secondo, plus a glass of wine or bottled water, and a finishing artichoke amaro with sweet cantucci biscuits for dipping.

For those bringing children, the child’s menu is also available.
