MYTILIADE

11.12.13 SEPTEMBER 2026

In Lerici,in the heart of the Gulf of Poets, the Mediterranean reveals itself through the flavours, cultures and traditions of the sea.
From Friday 11 to Sunday 13 September 2026 Mytiliade returns, a festival dedicated to the Gulf of Poets' mussels and the rich heritage of Mediterranean gastronomic culture.
A wide-ranging programme that brings together cuisine, talks, tastings, a market showcasing local specialities, workshops, performances and local experiences.
A journey through flavours, traditions and contemporary expressions, designed to portray the Mediterranean as a vibrant space of relationships, exchanges and identities.
The local muscoli—the Gulf of Poets' mussels and a symbol of Lerici's maritime heritage—provide the starting point for a broader narrative: that of a sea that unites communities, cultures and places.
Cooking shows featuring Italian and international chefs, talks on sustainability and the blue economy, family activities, excursions and opportunities for discovery transform Lerici into a place of meeting, learning and shared experiences.

Mytiliade is an experience to savour, where food, culture and the sea come together.
