Festa dell'Uva

Maschito · Basilicata, Italy · September (weekend, varies) ✅ Verified 2026

A grape-harvest festival in Maschito, a small Arbëreshë (Italo-Albanian) village whose language and customs still trace back to 15th-century refugees. Originating in the early 1990s under the Associazione Donne di Maschito and revived since 2012 by the Associazione Berimbau, its centerpiece is a parade of allegorical floats entirely decorated with grapes, celebrating the harvest and the local Aglianico del Vulture. Officially recognized as part of Basilicata's Intangible Cultural Heritage.
