The City of Bagheria will be an active participant at Sfincione Fest, the most anticipated event of the year dedicated to the famous Sicilian dish, with its own booth. The municipal administration will set up a stand dedicated to promoting the excellence of the Bagheria area.
The municipal stand could be an opportunity to discover and appreciate local artisanal and food and wine products. Artisans, producers and promotion associations will have the opportunity to display their creations and thus enhance Bagheria’s rich production heritage.
Products may be in a limited number, according to requests and only in displays for handicrafts, forbidden to be sold. Local bakeries, the beating heart of Sfincione Fest, will be able to be present with their sfincioni, which will not be for sale but offered free of charge for tasting to acquaint the public with the different nuances of this iconic dish.
All artisans and producers interested in participating in the municipal booth are invited to email the tourism office: turismo@comune.bagheria.pa.it
