Chestnut Festival in Cotronei

From 6 to 9 November 2025, Cotronei celebrates autumn with the Chestnut Festival, an unmissable event for lovers of local flavours and Calabrian culture. The village comes alive with the colours, aromas and flavours associated with chestnuts, the undisputed star of the season.

The event promotes local produce in all its forms, combining gastronomy, folklore and tradition. The food stands will offer roasted chestnuts, traditional desserts and Calabrian cuisine, while the market exhibition will showcase local honey, mushrooms, cheeses and wines. There will also be musical and folkloric performances, workshops and demonstrations on chestnut processing techniques, as well as guided excursions in the surrounding chestnut groves to discover the life cycle of this precious fruit.
