Swordfish Festival

Scents of the sea, authentic flavours and age-old traditions meet in the heart of the Costa Viola. On 1 and 2 May 2025, Bagnara Calabra will host the 2nd edition of the Swordfish Festival, in Piazza Giacomo Matteotti, for a long weekend of gastronomy, culture and entertainment.

The event celebrates one of the territory's most representative symbols: swordfish, the undisputed protagonist of Bagnara's cuisine. The kitchen will be open non-stop from 12 noon, with a menu that includes an entrée, swordfish sandwich, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, and samples of Amaro Képhas and Bergamottata. There will also be cultural moments and entertainment.
