About Festiviter

At the beginning of June, the hamlet of Tomba di Mereto in Mereto di Tomba, province of Udine, holds its summer festival: Festiviter. In the meadows of the Vicinia, four days of food stalls with Friulian specialties, cultural evenings, a choral review, aperitifs among the vineyards, live music, and an original treasure hunt with a metal detector.

The Friulian Summer of Tomba di Mereto

In the countryside of the central Friulian plain, where cultivated fields alternate with vineyards, the hamlet of Tomba di Mereto, part of the municipality of Mereto di Tomba in the province of Udine, hosts one of its most cherished festivals at the beginning of June: Festiviter. An event that, in the evocative meadows of the Vicinia on Via San Rocco, successfully combines the tradition of Friulian festivals with original and curious offerings.

Gastronomy and Tradition in the Square

The heart of Festiviter lies in its gastronomic stalls, open with many Friulian traditional specialties, accompanied by craft beers and local wines. It's an opportunity to taste the authentic flavors of local cuisine in a convivial and family atmosphere, with outdoor tables and the typical warmth of village festivals.

Culture, Music, and Original Events

Festiviter is not just about food. The program alternates cultural evenings, a choral review that celebrates the tradition of Friulian singing, aperitifs among the vineyards, and sports demonstrations. But the truly original touch is the treasure hunt with a metal detector, an unusual activity that entertains both adults and children. The musical evenings feature bands like The Bluegrass Baby and Crotz ta Palud, for a lively and varied program.

A Community Festival

Organized by the Pro Loco of Tomba di Mereto, Festiviter is the result of the voluntary work of an entire community that, every summer, dedicates itself to offering days of celebration open to everyone. An event that tells the soul of the central Friulian plain, made of tradition, hospitality, and a desire to be together, and which is worth visiting for those who want to discover the most authentic side of the region.
