Where: Fermignano, in the Marche region of Italy about 10km from Urbino
When: April 11th, every year

This tradition dates back to Montefeltro in 1607, when Fermignano became independent from Montefeltro. Young men run wheelbarrows through town each with a single frog on it. The runners represent each of the districts of the town. If the frog jumps off, you must stop pick him up & keep on running. The race is approximately 170 meters long. Everyone is dressed in classic medieval costumes. There is music, fireworks, tons of food, an air show, ancient craftsmen and a parade through town with lords & ladies, knights, flag bearing attendants & dramatic drums!

Cuisine: During the race fried-style frogs legs are available to quench your hunger!
Location : Le Marche region of Italy
