From Friday 6 to Sunday 8 November 2026 Imperia celebrates the new oil with Olioliva, now in its 26th edition. As every year, the festival takes place in early November in the old town of Oneglia, where stands and stalls offer tastings of freshly pressed extra virgin olive oil and typical food products. The three-day programme includes tastings, visits to olive groves, oil mills and farms in the area, creative and cooking workshops, conferences, talks and tours of the hinterland. The star is the Taggiasca olive, symbol of the area, which has recently been awarded the PGI label, alongside a selection of typical products from all over Liguria. The event is organised by the Special Agency of the Riviere di Liguria Chamber of Commerce; programme updates are posted on the Olioliva Facebook page.

To plan your visit

Imperia: a guide to the city, who it suits and when to go
A city that is really two: Oneglia around its harbour and its olive oil, Porto Maurizio on the Parasio headland. How to choose between them, how long to stay and what the 2026 cycle path changes.

Beaches of Imperia: Blue Flag, Spiaggia d'Oro and how to choose
Sand below the Parasio, pebbles and rocks to the east, two beaches with the 2026 Blue Flag. Which one to choose depending on who you are, and what parking near the sea costs.

Imperia in two days: an itinerary through the Parasio, Oneglia and the cycle path
One day for each half, but above all the right two days: Imperia's three main museums keep different calendars, and the wrong weekend leaves two of them out. The plan and its variations.

Imperia with children: Villa Grock, the Planetarium, the beach and bikes
A house built by a clown, a dome with six thousand stars, naval simulators, a sandy beach and a flat cycle path by the sea: Imperia with children works better than you might think.
