The International Street Performance Festival of Zoppola
There is an evening, at the end of July, when Zoppola sheds its skin as a quiet town in the Pordenone plain to don the guise of a grand, widespread theater. It's the beginning of Arts and Flavors, the International Street Performance Festival that for twenty years has enlivened the village with the magic of street artists and the aroma of food stalls.
In the most picturesque corners of the town, performance areas multiply, animated by dozens of shows: juggling, tightrope walking, acrobatics, theater, and music alternate in a packed program, featuring artists from Italy and abroad. In recent editions, the festival has broadened its horizons with areas dedicated to art, dance, theater, cinema, and photography, confirming its multidisciplinary vocation.
Alongside the performances, the gastronomic aspect takes center stage: the food and wine stalls offer typical local and international specialties, accompanied by a wide selection of craft beers, while the artisan market completes the festive atmosphere. A combination of "arts" and "flavors," as the event's name itself suggests.
Organized by Pro Loco Zoppola APS, the festival has grown to become one of the most anticipated summer events in Friuli dedicated to street art. With the support of the Municipality of Zoppola, the event attracts thousands of visitors each year, transforming the town into a crossroads of wonder, fun, and good food.
The 20th edition is held on the weekend of July 31 - August 2, 2026. Approximately 50 performances are scheduled, including juggling, tightrope walking, acrobatics, theater, and music, spread across 8 performance areas in the most picturesque corners of the town, with areas dedicated to art, dance, theater, cinema, and photography. Completing the festival are 20 food and wine stalls offering local and international specialties and a rich selection of craft beers.
