About Festival of Saint Anthony
The Hamlet's Festival
The Festival of Saint Anthony is the major summer event of the hamlet of Sant'Antonio, in the Municipality of Porcia, in the province of Pordenone. For three weeks, between late May and mid-June, the festival area comes alive every evening with music, dancing, the aroma of grilled food, and the voices of a community gathering around its festival.
It is one of those festivals where the religious dimension – the celebrations for Saint Anthony of Padua, the patron saint celebrated on June 13th – naturally coexists with the more popular and festive aspect, made up of concerts, dancing evenings, and long tables under the pavilion.
Concerts and Dancing Evenings
The program alternates cover bands and tribute concerts, much loved by the younger audience, with classic dancing evenings featuring Friulian popular music orchestras. It ranges from tributes to Max Pezzali, Vasco Rossi, and Italian music to evenings with major dance orchestras, in a schedule designed for all ages.
Food Stalls and Cuisine
The food and wine stalls open every evening from 7:00 PM and offer traditional specialties cooked over charcoal: mixed grills, steaks, and typical Friulian dishes, accompanied by local wines. There is also a charity raffle, a funfair, and a lottery, the proceeds of which support local initiatives and school facilities.
