Beer and Chestnut Festival
Moruzzo's autumn with Oktoberfest-style beers, chestnuts, and Friulian flavors
About Beer and Chestnuts
An Oktoberfest in the Friulian Hills
The Beer and Chestnut Festival in Moruzzo, organized by Pro Loco Moruzzo, is the autumn event that brings the spirit of Oktoberfest to the morainic hills of Friuli. Over two weekends in November, under a heated marquee, large mugs of German beer meet the most authentic flavors of Friulian tradition, in a festival that combines Mitteleuropean conviviality and local roots.
Beer, Chestnuts, and Mountain Cuisine
The stars are Bavarian-style beers and chestnuts, featured in dishes ranging from chestnut gnocchi with butter and sage to roasted chestnuts, accompanied by local wines like Ribolla. Friulian and Mitteleuropean specialties are also present: Viennese cutlet, polenta with frico, and fish dishes prepared by Alpine volunteers. It's a delicious offering that showcases the Friulian autumn in all its nuances.
Music, Walks, and Tournaments
The program alternates DJ sets and concerts, with cover bands of Friulian and national tradition, with outdoor activities such as the "Moruzzo a 6 Zampe" dog walk and a surprise walk, as well as morra and foosball tournaments. It's the community festival that closes the beautiful season in the Municipality of Moruzzo (Province of Udine), amidst the gentle hills northwest of the provincial capital.
