Pronunciation
/ˈsaɡra/
Cultural Note
Sagre are community food festivals celebrating a single local product -- truffles, chestnuts, porchetta, wild boar, artichokes, and countless others. Nearly every Italian village has at least one sagra per year. They feature long communal tables, homemade food at low prices, and live music. Sagre are the most authentic way to experience Italian food culture, far from tourist restaurants.
