Festivals in Serrara Fontana is a series of traditional religious and cultural celebrations held in the hilltop village of Serrara Fontana on Ischia. These events honour local saints with processions, music, and food stalls, set against the island's volcanic landscape. The festivals occur throughout the summer months, drawing both residents and visitors to the village's historic piazzas and churches.

- Each festival includes a fireworks display launched from the village's elevated terraces, visible across the Gulf of Naples.
- Food stalls sell Ischitan specialities such as coniglio all'ischitana (rabbit stew), fresh grilled fish, and local wines from the island's vineyards.
- Evening concerts and folk dancing performances take place in the main piazza, featuring traditional tarantella music and costumes.
- The festivals typically run from late afternoon until midnight, with the main religious service held in the Church of Santa Maria della Portella.
