It is an experience that has made the Offagna Medieval Festival one of the most appreciated historical reenactments in Italy.

Throughout the village, medieval taverns will serve traditional local specialties inspired by ancient recipes, while special events such as the Grand Medieval Banquet will offer guests a unique immersive dining experience combining history, gastronomy, and live entertainment.

Visitors can also enjoy some of the festival's most anticipated attractions, including the spectacular Midnight Grand Ball, breathtaking fire shows, live medieval music, historical parades, and the thrilling Knightly Joust, one of the signature events of the Offagna Medieval Festival.

Discover One of Italy's Most Charming Medieval Villages

During the festival, guests will also have the opportunity to visit Offagna's museums, explore its impressive 15th-century fortress, and discover the hidden corners of one of the most beautiful medieval villages in the Marche region.

The Offagna Medieval Festival is much more than a historical reenactment—it is an immersive cultural experience where history, tradition, entertainment, and local hospitality come together. Every year, hundreds of volunteers help keep this remarkable tradition alive, proudly preserving the village's heritage while sharing it with visitors from around the world.
