Blue Fish Festival: Two days of taste and tradition in Sant’Elia

The picturesque seaside village of Sant’Elia, a hamlet of Santa Flavia, is preparing to welcome the 1st edition of the Sagra del Pesce Azzurro, an unmissable event for lovers of good food and local traditions. The event will be held on the evenings of Friday 13th and Saturday 14th September 2024, from 7.30pm to 10.00pm, along the picturesque Lungomare Via dei Cantieri.

Promoted by the Municipality of Santa Flavia with the patronage of the Sicilian Region Department of Agriculture, Rural Development and Mediterranean Fisheries and with the collaboration of the associations Open Space, Pro Loco Santa FlaviaAPS and ASDC Sabikah, the festival presents itself as an opportunity unique to rediscover the authentic flavors of the territory. During the two evenings, visitors will be able to taste free dishes based on oily fish, expertly prepared by our chefs.

The event also boasts a prestigious collaboration with the Cantine Duca di Salaparuta, which will offer their wines for tasting, perfect for accompanying seafood specialties. Furthermore, thanks to the participation of I Cuocarini in Tour and Euroform Scuola dei Mestieri, the public will be able to attend culinary demonstrations and deepen their knowledge of local gastronomic traditions.

Not just gastronomy: the festival will also offer a space dedicated to local craftsmanship, with the traditional Crafts Corner, where products created manually by our talented artisans will be displayed.

The event will be enriched by musical and folklore performances. On Friday 13 September, the Folk and Drummers and Majorettes Association of Aspra will liven up the evening, while on Saturday 14 September, the event will be animated by the Soluntum Folk Group. The event will end from 10pm on September 14th, with the concert by Lello Analfino Duo (guitar and voice), which promises to give unique emotions with its music.

Entrance is free, and everyone is invited to participate in this celebration of flavours, music and tradition. Don’t miss it!
