Sagra (festival)
Italian festival / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Italy, a sagra (pl.: sagre) is a local festival, very often involving food, and frequently a historical pageant and sporting events: when the sporting event is a historical recreation as well, such as a joust or a horse race in costume or armour, it is called a palio.
