Corte dei Luppoli festival in Galatina

The second edition of the ‘Corte dei Luppoli’ craft beer festival is scheduled to take place in Galatina from August 14 to 16, 2026. Organized by the No Colors association, the event aims to showcase local products, traditions, and the architectural heritage of the town’s historic center.

Six Italian artisanal breweries—The Hop Gang, Birrificio degli Ostuni, Calender, Birra Salento, Officine Birrai, and L’Olmaia—will participate. The festival will feature local gastronomic specialties such as caciocavallo impiccato, bombette, and seafood meatballs, alongside musical entertainment including acoustic groups and DJ sets.

The event coincides with the 30th anniversary of the Italian craft beer sector, which has evolved from a niche market in the 1990s into a recognized part of the country's gastronomic culture. As part of the celebrations, the ‘Aspettando La Corte dei Luppoli’ initiative will offer guided historical walks through Galatina, visiting landmarks such as Porta Luce and the Basilica of Santa Caterina d’Alessandria.
