The "cancelled" dates are when the festival was traditionally supposed to take place (late September and early October), but this year, as an exception, it has been postponed by 2 weeks due to the delay in the pistachio harvest, as per the official statement from the municipality (click here to read it). The new dates are listed below.
ATTENTION
Pistacchissimo helps you find some of the most interesting and pistachio-packed products.

Cost / Entrance Ticket?
There is NO entrance ticket, as the festival takes place freely throughout the town streets.
You only pay for what you consume, paying directly at the stalls, bars, restaurants, etc., where you decide to eat.
Some stalls also offer free samples, but obviously in limited quantities.
Parking and Shuttles (updated for 2023)
TWO free municipal PARKING AREAS are set up in the outskirts of the town:
- Artisan Zone (MAP)
- With shuttle bus service to the center (Saturday and Sunday only)
- Very large, therefore also suitable for CAMPERS)
- Piazza Padre V. Saitta (MAP)
- No shuttles (about a 15-minute walk)
Bus / Coach from Catania, Airport, Messina, Palermo, etc.
I'm sorry, but we do not provide this type of information.
In the case of Catania airport, for example, you definitely need to take the bus to the Catania station first, then take the coach to Bronte (checking the timetables accordingly).
We recommend checking the transport agencies' websites directly.
Additionally, there are many private agencies that organize coach tours, which can be found by searching on Google or social media.
