The Sagra del Calzone Molfettese is an annual event held in Molfetta, usually in September, celebrating one of the most representative dishes of local gastronomic tradition: the calzone molfettese.

This event, organised by the Pro Loco di Molfetta under the patronage of the Comune, the Regione Puglia and Unpli Puglia, attracts numerous visitors eager to sample the local specialities and immerse themselves in the town's festive atmosphere. 

During the festival, visitors have the opportunity to taste different varieties of calzone, accompanied by local wines, on a food and wine journey that showcases the authentic flavours of the area.

Besides the culinary delights, the festival offers a rich entertainment programme. Live music performances, theatrical shows and activities for children bring Molfetta's main squares to life, turning the event into an occasion for people of all ages to come together.

In some editions, calzone molfettese preparation courses have been organised in collaboration with the local Istituto Alberghiero (Molfetta Hotel Institute), passing on the techniques and secrets of this ancient recipe to new generations.

The Sagra del Calzone Molfettese is a significant moment for the local community, helping to showcase the town's gastronomic and cultural excellence.
