Edition 2025 — Madonna della Pescheria

In 2025, on Ferragosto, Portogruaro celebrated the Festa della Madonna della Pescheria in Piazzetta della Pescheria, with masses in honour of the Madonna and the evening river re-enactment: after the rosary, the caorline boats from Caorle and the batèi from Concordia Sagittaria sailed up the Lemene river illuminated by torches, with the symbolic offering of fruits from the land and sea.

The 2025 edition of the Festa della Madonna della Pescheria took place on August 15th in Piazzetta della Pescheria in Portogruaro, renewing a tradition dating back to the 17th century.

After the masses in honour of the Madonna, the local tourism board (Pro Loco) organised the captivating river re-enactment in the evening: following the rosary, the caorline from Caorle and the batèi from Concordia Sagittaria sailed up the river illuminated by torches, culminating in the symbolic offering of a basket with the fruits of the land and sea in the square.
