A big popular feast, with many events as dance and ballroom groups, comic theater, a small market (mercatino), and other entertainments. Its named by a small creek nearby, the Bacialla creek. The menu has a choice of Tuscan appetizers with mixed sliced, the unavoidable pici pasta with a local sauce, and the classic t-bone steak, as we are in the Val di Chiana valley, home of the "Chianina" cattle breed. Other grilled meat is available too.

The sagra is organized by a sports group, G. S. Terontola 1963.
