The Festival del Prosciutto di Parma runs its 29th edition over early September 2026 in Langhirano and Parma, with Finestre Aperte opening curing houses.
Focus: Prosciutto di Parma
Tip: Book Finestre Aperte producer visits early; the free street programme in Langhirano needs no ticket, some tastings do.
November Porc rolls a relay of pork feasts through Parma's Bassa each November, four river towns taking turns around culatello, mariola and spalla.
Focus: Culatello and pork traditions
Tip: Each weekend belongs to a different town along the Po, Sissa first, Roccabianca last; check the Strada del Culatello programme for the Sunday markets.
The Parma Street Food Festival fills Parco Ducale with more than thirty food trucks each spring; the 2026 edition ran 29 May to 2 June, entry free.
Focus: Street food from thirty-plus trucks
Tip: Evenings add live music and DJ sets to the food-truck rows; entry is free and the park itself stays the point.
