Fastucafest event
This year, the Percorso del Gusto (Path of Taste), with its urban art installation intertwined with lights and colors, will once again take you on a sensory journey where you can discover the many facets of the Raffadali Pistachio DOP, expertly crafted by the master pastry chefs and chefs who use it daily.
This year, the food space is enriched with numerous themed workshops, tastings, wine tastings, and cooking demonstrations. It begins on Friday afternoon and continues on
Saturday and Sunday, starting in the morning. Cooking demonstrations with chefs, tastings of Sicilian DOC wine, preparations with PGI olive oil, PGI Modica chocolate, and
masterclasses by master bakers paired with many other quality products will alternate to create a riot of flavors and entertainment that will accompany you for
all three days and make this event a gathering place for guests from all over Italy.
FastucaFest pays particular attention to the world of culture: from shows to conferences to artistic performances, everything revolves around the concept of pistachios,
the local area, and knowledge of our history and traditions. Excursions, conferences, art exhibitions, and performances will also be part of the 2023 edition.
The Fastuca Fest focuses on pistachios and dried fruit, but it also represents a great opportunity for the various quality Sicilian products and for local businesses.

How the Fastuca Fest was born
The idea of organizing a festival dedicated to the Raffadali pistachio took shape as the foundations for the PDO recognition process were being laid.
Fastua Fest was born with the idea of supporting and enhancing this recognition process by creating a partnership with the local area and its producers. For the first time in the area, the event features a groundbreaking program of food book presentations, cooking demonstrations, urban installations,
and customized stands that tell the story of these excellent products.
Fastuafest is not a festival: fastucafest celebrates the Raffadali Pistachio PDO through a backdrop of colors, flavors, and sounds expertly interwoven to create a unique visual and sensorial spectacle.
