Festa di San Nicolò

The Patron Saint of Carnia

Comeglians, a village nestled in the Val Calda, in the heart of Carnia, celebrates its patron saint San Nicolò (Saint Nicholas) every year with a festival that intertwines religious, charitable, and traditional mountain aspects of Friuli. The event, linked to December 6th, is one of the community's most cherished appointments during Advent.

Between Devotion and Solidarity

The religious aspect is represented by the Holy Mass in the small church of San Nicolò, traditionally dedicated to blood donors, highlighting the spirit of solidarity that characterizes the entire event. Numerous initiatives are indeed for charitable purposes, from the blood donation drive in the square to fundraising for the region's pediatric hospitals.

A Festival for Everyone

The program enlivens the village with the market of typical products and local crafts, the eagerly awaited arrival of San Nicolò with gifts for children and carriage rides, workshops and entertainment for the little ones, chainsaw carving demonstrations, and an exhibition of vintage cars and motorcycles. There are also chestnuts and mulled wine offered by the local section of the National Association of Alpini, live music, and shows.

The Spirit of the Mountains

Supported by the Municipality of Comeglians, local associations, and businesses, the Festa di San Nicolò is a precious opportunity to experience the authenticity of Carnia, discover its flavors and crafts, and feel the warmth of a mountain community during the most magical time of the year.
