RICE FESTIVAL

The area of the Park Gate at La Brilla Massarosa becomes a meeting point for exhibitions, tastings, cooking shows, workshops related to the topic of rice with a chance to dine at the space set up for the festival, tasting traditional reworked dishes from the territory prepared with the collaboration of local associations from Quiesa (Misericordia and Fratres), the Regional Union of Chefs of Tuscany and Lucca Coldiretti.

The Festival will offer an opportunity to outline prospects for the recovery of a possible new rice production in the area of the lake by a confrontation with institutional and industry experts.
 
Visitors are invited in the afternoons of Saturday and Sunday to participate in a visit of the lake by motorboat Burlamacca, dragon (type of canoe), canoe, kayak or small boat and discover the places and stories related to the rice that has been for centuries one of the main resources of the territory.
Furthermore there will be guided tours to the archaeological museum Villa Venueli and to the Oasi Lipu, Chiarone reserve by Massaciuccoli.
