Stragusto Trapani 2026: the Mediterranean Street Food Festival
What Stragusto Is
Stragusto is the famous Mediterranean street food festival that every year brings life to the historic center of Trapani. Born as a local event, today it is one of the most anticipated food festivals in Sicily.
Over time, the event has involved chefs and producers from several Mediterranean countries. Not only Sicilian specialties, but also street food from Greece, Spain, North Africa and beyond,
becoming a reference point among summer food festivals.
A great celebration that offers visitors unique atmospheres to experience, taste and share...
An ideal journey where flavor, culture and traditions intertwine and where you can taste specialties from different regions of Italy and from foreign countries. Many delicacies characterize the event’s gastronomic itinerary: Palermo, Trapani, Apulian, Tuscan, Tunisian, Catania, Ragusa specialties, dishes from Madagascar, Romanian cuisine and much more! Among the novelties there is also the Wine Tasting area, featuring the best local wines, an unmissable experience at sunset from the beautiful terrace of the Tramontana walls.
Sharing, culture, tradition.
