Fiera di a Castagna closes the Corsican fair calendar in Bocognano from 4 to 6 December 2026. The chestnut is a major marker of inland Corsican food heritage, tied to flour, bread, sweets, mountain agriculture and the memory of communities that depended on chestnut groves. Held by Foyer rural U Castagnu in the Moraschi quarter, the fair brings producers, craft, food and local knowledge into one winter gathering. It is one of the clearest cultural entries for the island because the chestnut connects landscape, language, taste and rural history.

Fêtes de la Châtaigne et du Terroir à Collobrières
Collobrières is one of the emblematic chestnut villages of the Massif des Maures, and its Fêtes de la Châtaigne et du Terroir give that identity a full autumn expression. Across three Sundays, the village welcomes producers, artisans, old trades, tastings, folklore groups and visitors drawn by the season of the harvest. The chestnut is more than a flavour here: it belongs to wooded slopes, family know-how, rural economy and the memory of the Maures. Each date has its own emphasis, from Var producers to international delegations and traditional crafts. For a regional culture site, this event is one of the clearest examples of terroir becoming public celebration.
