Col in Festa
The Ladin village festival in the historic center of Colle Santa Lucia
About Col in Festa
The Ladin village festival
Col in Festa is the village festival of Colle Santa Lucia (Col in Ladin), a small municipality in the province of Belluno in the heart of the Agordino region, overlooking the Civetta massif and just a short distance from the Giau Pass. The village preserves a strong Ladin identity, and this cultural heritage is the common thread of the event.
A day of tradition and flavors
The festival takes place in the historic center and features stands from local associations, a small artisan market, and typical Ladin cuisine, with specialties like 'balote' and goulash. There is also a cultural corner curated by the Istitut Ladin Cesa de Jan, with guided tours of exhibitions and sessions to learn more about the Ladin language and traditions.
Culture, family, and the Dolomites
The program includes activities for children, demonstrations of ancient crafts such as hay mowing, theatrical sketches in the Ladin language, and the opportunity to explore the firefighters' museum. A family-friendly festival that unites the community of Colle Santa Lucia and welcomes visitors in one of the most stunning settings in the Belluno Dolomites.
