Festa di Sant'Antonio
The patronal festival of Gemona del Friuli
About Sant'Antonio Gemona
The patron saint's festival of Gemona
The Festa di Sant'Antonio is the patronal festival of Gemona del Friuli, a town in the Province of Udine at the foot of the Julian Prealps. Saint Anthony of Padua is deeply venerated in the town, where a Sanctuary is dedicated to him: every year, in mid-June, Gemona's residents gather around the sanctuary and the nearby Park of Via Dante for several days of devotion and celebration.
Between faith, music, and gastronomy
The program combines the religious dimension – with liturgical celebrations in honour of the saint – and the popular one, with evenings of music, food stands run by volunteers, cultural events, and entertainment for families. To crown the festivities, as tradition dictates, is the fireworks display that lights up Gemona's sky.
A community festival
The Festa di Sant'Antonio is one of the most cherished events in Gemona's calendar: an occasion where devotion and conviviality merge, bringing the community together around its patron saint. Promoted by the parish with the support of the Municipality of Gemona del Friuli, the festival also offers visitors the opportunity to discover the town and its history, marked by rebirth after the 1976 earthquake.
Sant'Antonio Gemona — edition 2026
The 2026 edition of the Festa di Sant'Antonio takes place from June 10th to 14th in Gemona del Friuli. Around the Sanctuary of Sant'Antonio and the Park of Via Dante, liturgical celebrations in honour of the patron saint, music evenings, food stands run by volunteers, cultural events, and activities for families alternate, culminating in the traditional fireworks that conclude the festivities.
