Fair of Flavors
Three days of taste and tradition in the Bassa Friulana at Carlino
About Fair of Flavors of Carlino
Flavors of the Lagoon and the Land
Carlino, a small municipality in the Bassa Friulana near the Marano lagoon, in the province of Udine, has a very close relationship with water and land. The Fair of Flavors was created to showcase this dual soul: on one hand, the fruits of the lagoon — eel, sea bass from the valleys, clams — and on the other, the specialties of the Friulian countryside, from wild boar to truffles, up to the traditional colaçs, the ring-shaped holiday cookies.
A Territorial Event
The fair is promoted by the Municipality of Carlino with the support of PromoTurismoFVG and the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region, in collaboration with the Pro Loco and local associations. The heart of the event is Piazza San Rocco, where the food stalls, themed tastings, and entertainment take place. It is a festival built by the community, capable of attracting visitors from all over the Bassa Friulana and the lagoon area.
Tastings, Music, and Nature
The program intertwines taste and entertainment: alongside the stalls with traditional Friulian dishes and local wines, there are themed tastings, evening concerts, guided excursions to discover the lagoon environment, family activities, and culinary competitions. The official opening, with the inaugural parade in Piazza San Rocco, kicks off three days in which Carlino becomes a showcase of the flavors and traditions of an authentic corner of Friuli, suspended between fishing valleys, countryside, and lagoon.
