Festiviter

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 events in early June: Festiviter. This event, held in the picturesque meadows of the Vicinia on Via San Rocco, successfully combines the tradition of Friulian festivals with original and intriguing offerings.

Gastronomy and Tradition in the Square

The heart of Festiviter lies in its food stalls, offering a wide array of traditional Friulian specialties, accompanied by craft beers and local wines. It's an opportunity to savor the authentic flavors of local cuisine in a convivial and family-friendly atmosphere, with outdoor seating and the typical warmth of village festivals.

Culture, Music, and Original Events

Festiviter is more than just food. The program features a mix of cultural evenings, a choral review that celebrates the tradition of Friulian singing, wine tasting among the vineyards, and sports demonstrations. But the truly unique element is the metal detector treasure hunt, an unusual activity that entertains both adults and children. The musical evenings showcase bands like The Bluegrass Baby and Crotz ta Palud, contributing to a lively and diverse program.

A Community Celebration

Organized by the Pro Loco of Tomba di Mereto, Festiviter is the result of the voluntary efforts of an entire community that, every summer, dedicates itself to offering festive days open to everyone. This event embodies the spirit of the central Friulian plain, characterized by tradition, hospitality, and a desire for togetherness, making it a worthwhile visit for those seeking to discover the most authentic side of the region.
