Old Wife Festival
18–19 April 2026
The Old Hag Festival It is one of Romagna's oldest and most cherished festivals, an event that combines tradition, folklore, and fun for the whole family.
According to legend, a woman broke her Lenten fast by eating meat on a Thursday, symbolically becoming responsible for the ills of the agricultural season. This is where the figure of the “Old Woman” comes from, the protagonist of the festival, who is burned in a large bonfire as a propitiatory rite of passage into spring.
