A journey through authentic flavors, music, and Sicilian tradition during the sweetest weekend of the year.
The Cherry Festival of Chiusa Sclafani
Chiusa Sclafani, a small village in the province of Palermo nestled among the Sicani Mountains, has always had a strong agricultural vocation.
In the 1970s and 1980s, with the aim of promoting the product and supporting local producers, the municipal administration and local associations decided to organize a festival dedicated to cherries. Over time, the festival has grown into a highly anticipated regional event.
Why it has become an international event
Over the years, the festival has attracted visitors from all over Italy and international tourists, thanks to the quality of the cherries, the farming tradition, and the promotion of the Sicilian territory.
The message of the event
To promote agricultural culture, respect for the land, and the excellence of local products. The cherry becomes an ambassador of taste and identity.
