Rice Fair

Celebration, taste and tradition.
The Isola della Scala Rice Fair, the largest national event in the sector, reaches its 55th edition this year. Born in 1966 from the "garzega", a peasant tradition that celebrated the annual end of the harvest, it was characterized by the delicious "creation" of the island's gastronomic coat of arms: the recipe for Risotto all'Isolana.

As per tradition, rich food and wine stands will be set up offering local specialties, first of all, the island rice. Born from the creativity of Cav. Pietro Secchiati in 1967, has become the now traditional recipe, which distinguishes this fair from all other popular festivals. Today the nerve center of the culinary event is the Palariso, an architectural structure that recalls the shape of the grain, the true temple of Italian risotto.

There will be concerts, performances and cabaret shows, exhibitions, theatrical events, children's markets and dozens of exhibitors from all over Italy.
