Festa della Castagna

Located in the green hills of Valdera, the medieval village of Orciatico has been the scene for over 40 years of an event that traditionally takes place on the third Sunday of October.

During the day there are various attractions such as the craft markets in the streets of the village, musical entertainment and various shows.

Maximum importance is obviously given to the gastronomic aspect of the festival. In the food stands, open for lunch and dinner, people can taste some of the typical specialties of Tuscan cuisine. Throughout the day  it will also be possible to taste chestnuts, pancakes, migliacci and sweet wine.
