AratroParty

When the plough becomes a party

In Villaorba, a hamlet of the municipality of Basiliano in the province of Udine, January brings an event that smells of the earth and rural tradition: the AratroParty. A day entirely dedicated to traditional ploughing, where the village's agricultural community gathers to celebrate the trades and rhythms of the Friulian countryside.

A day between fields and stalls

The program is simple and authentic: food stalls open in the morning with sandwiches, beer, and wine, followed by a ploughing demonstration in the fields, while at noon, pasta is served for everyone. A convivial feast that attracts the curious, tractor enthusiasts, and families, in a rural setting along Via Beano.

The rural roots of Villaorba

Organized by the farmers of Villaorba together with the Pro Loco, AratroParty is much more than a festival: it's a way to keep the bond with the land alive and to pass on the skills and knowledge of Friulian agriculture. An event that tells the rural soul of this corner of the plain, where the countryside is still the protagonist of village life.

In the heart of the Friulian plain

Villaorba di Basiliano is located in the central plain of Friuli, a few kilometers from Udine. The hamlet itself is also known for other gastronomic and popular events, a sign of a lively community fond of its traditions.
