Festa della Madonna del Monte

A Sanctuary in Celebration

In Costa di Aviano, where the Santuario della Madonna del Monte (Sanctuary of the Madonna del Monte) stands, the community gathers every September for one of the most cherished religious and popular festivals in the area. The Festa della Madonna del Monte intertwines Marian devotion, deeply rooted in these valleys, with the convivial spirit of a village festival, a typical combination of Friulian tradition.

Four Days of Devotion and Conviviality

The event spans four days, featuring religious celebrations at the sanctuary and a rich program of activities. The food stands offer local specialties daily: mixed grill, cotechino, sausage and cabbage, polenta, and much more, accompanied by regional flavors and wines.

Events for Everyone

Alongside the food and wine, the program offers entertainment for all ages: a Vespa gathering, the traditional charity raffle, group dancing, and live music, with bands like I Musicanti di Giais and Lucio e i Robusti animating the evenings. A festival that unites generations and traditions.

At the Foot of Piancavallo

The Santuario della Madonna del Monte, nestled in the greenery at the foot of Piancavallo, is a place of great charm, a destination for pilgrimages and a spiritual reference point for the communities of Aviano and Marsure. The September festival is the ideal occasion to discover it, amidst faith, nature, and authentic flavors.
