Emigrant Festival of Tarzo

A festival born from the memory of emigration

The Emigrant Festival of Tarzo (province of Treviso) was founded in 1976 to commemorate the history of Tarzo's emigration. Between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Veneto was a land of departures towards North and South America and Australia: the festival was born in the period when many emigrants returned to their hometowns in the summer, becoming a meeting point and a moment for reflection on the sacrifices and hopes of entire generations.

Culture, march, and gastronomy

The event takes place in the hamlet of Fratta di Tarzo and offers a rich program of cultural, musical, sporting, and gastronomic events. Among the most heartfelt moments are the Emigrant March, a walk open to all through the hills of Tarzo, and the aperiloco that kicks off the festival. The gastronomic stand of Pro Loco Tarzo accompanies the evenings with traditional dishes.

A link with Trevisani nel Mondo

The festival is organized by Pro Loco Tarzo APS with the support of the Municipality and in collaboration with the Trevisani nel Mondo association, which keeps alive the bond between the territory and its emigrants. An event that, for almost half a century, has intertwined historical memory and village festival in the Alta Marca Trevigiana.
