The Squid Festival is a must-attend event and since 2000 it has offered the island’s passionate visitors the opportunity to taste the delicious Squids (as the people of Capraia call them)
The event consists of two main events: the Totano Fishing Race which includes various categories of participants – on land and at sea – for sailboats and motorboats. The start of the nearly 100 boats is a spectacular event. Equally fun is the weighing of the caught squids which is done at the end of the race at the SALATA.
The Festival organized by the Pro Loco together with all the island restaurants is the culmination of squid tasting: along the dock of the port, there are fried squid, squid rice, squid cous-cous, squid with herbs, squid with potatoes, squid lasagna, spicy squid crostini, squid arancini, and every year, there are variations on the theme, while the squid remains.
Official slogan: Let’s go to Squids!
