Festa del Carmine

Latisanotta celebrates Our Lady of Mount Carmel

Every year in July, the hamlet of Latisanotta, on the outskirts of Latisana in the Bassa Friulana region, celebrates its patronal festival: the Festa del Carmine, dedicated to Our Lady of Mount Carmel. It is an event that intertwines the religious dimension with popular and convivial aspects, bringing together the hamlet's community and visitors from neighbouring towns.

Flavours of Friulian tradition

The heart of the festival lies in the food stalls, where frico, the famous Friulian dish made of cheese and potatoes, is a must, alongside other local culinary specialties. The open kitchens and good food provide the backdrop for the evenings, in a cheerful atmosphere typical of village festivals.

Music and dancing evenings

The evenings are enlivened by live music and traditional dancing evenings, with orchestras and DJs getting young and old on their feet. The festival is organised by the Parish of Santa Maria Maddalena of Latisanotta with the Mamme di Latisanotta group and the "Chei de la foghera" association, testifying to the community's strong involvement.

A community festival

Between processions, moments of prayer, gastronomy, and dancing, the Festa del Carmine represents one of the most important community gatherings of Latisanotta's summer. It is an opportunity to rediscover the traditions of the Bassa Friulana and to experience the authentic spirit of village festivals.
