Inquiry about the schedule for the food festival in Bari

Hi everyone! I'm planning a trip to Puglia this summer and I'm really hoping to catch both of these festivals. Based on what I've found online, here are the dates I have:

- Sagra del Polpo (Mola di Bari) — July 24–26, 2026 (51st edition, La Festa del Mare)

- Sagra del Panino della Nonna (Giovinazzo) — August 10–11, 2026 (XXIX edition)

I've seen these dates mentioned on their official Facebook pages, but I wanted to double-check before booking accommodation, especially since last-minute changes can happen with local sagre.

Has anyone attended these in recent years or heard any updates for 2026? Any tips on parking, best time to arrive, or things to know beforehand would also be hugely appreciated!

Thanks in advance 🍕🐙
