Brigantino's Carnival
In 1999, the Pro Loco of Crispiano, decided to realize an innovative idea, to link summer tourism and the gastronomic tradition of this town to fun and carnival talent. So it was that the old "Carnival is of the People", a traditional winter parade of carts that had cheered the streets of the town since 1979, became the "Summer Carnival of Fegatino", an event that includes parades of allegorical floats and masked groups. All this takes place in a whole week.
