Cetara's colatura festival celebrates the amber anchovy sauce the fishing village is known for, which the listing identifies as a Slow Food presidium. The programme combines food stands and tastings, talks on how colatura is made and on fishermen's lives, live music and a gastronomic competition, with spaghetti alla colatura and other anchovy and fish dishes. The 2026 edition is listed for 11-14 December.
