Radicchio Festival 2026
Sunday, November 22 at Lost Field Farm
Salt Spring’s Radicchio Festival
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 22 | 12–3pm
Join us for a celebration of flavour, farming, and community.
Radicchio, beloved in Northern Italy, is an extraordinarily diverse and cold-hardy vegetable — beautiful, nutritious, and deeply welcome in the darker months. Supporting crops that thrive in fall and winter strengthens local food security and brings so much colour and life to our tables when we need it most.
Come taste what radicchio can do!
This is a popular event, buy your tickets early.
