Donor Festival

A festival celebrating the gift

In mid-July, when the Isontina plain heats up under the sun, Farra d'Isonzo gathers around a festival with a generous heart: the Sagra del Donatore (Donor Festival), promoted by the local section of ADVS FIDAS Isontina. More than just a village festival, it is an event that links summer fun with a profound message, that of voluntary blood donation, a value that has been rooted in Farra for generations.

Four days of music and tradition

The event takes place in the village's celebration area and is spread over four days full of offerings: rock concerts, dance evenings with orchestras, motorcycle rallies, briscola card games, beer pong, dance shows, and the unmissable final tombola (bingo) with a rich prize pool. The food stalls, open every evening and also for lunch on Sundays, offer the flavors of Friulian and Isontina tradition, accompanied by wines from the Collio region and fresh beer.

The feast of the Madonna del Carmine

The festival is held concurrently with the feast of the Madonna del Carmine (July 16th), an element that intertwines the religious dimension with the community one and makes these days the most anticipated moment of the Farra summer. The participation of the Municipality of Farra d'Isonzo and numerous associations testifies to the strong roots of the event in the social fabric of the town.

Between Collio and Isonzo

Farra d'Isonzo, in the province of Gorizia, is located among the vineyards of Collio and the banks of the Isonzo river, a few kilometers from Gradisca and the Slovenian border. The festival is also an ideal opportunity to discover a territory of great wines and river landscapes, in an authentic corner of Friuli Venezia Giulia.
