Three days of taste and tradition in the Bassa Friulana region in Carlino
Carlino, a small municipality in Bassa Friulana near the Marano lagoon, in the province of Udine, has a very close relationship with water and land. The Fiera dei Sapori (Flavours Fair) was created to showcase this dual soul: on one hand, the fruits of the lagoon — eel, sea bass from the valleys, clams — and on the other, the specialities of the Friulian countryside, from wild boar to truffles, including the traditional colaçs, the ring-shaped biscuits for celebrations.
The fair is promoted by the Municipality of Carlino with the support of PromoTurismoFVG and the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region, in collaboration with the local Pro Loco (tourism association) and local associations. The heart of the event is Piazza San Rocco, where the food stalls, themed tastings, and entertainment take place. It is a community-built festival, capable of attracting visitors from all over Bassa Friulana and the lagoon area.
The programme blends taste and entertainment: alongside stalls offering traditional Friulian dishes and local wines, there are themed tastings, evening concerts, guided excursions to discover the lagoon environment, family activities, and culinary competitions. The official opening, with an inaugural parade in Piazza San Rocco, kicks off three days in which Carlino becomes a showcase of the flavours and traditions of an authentic corner of Friuli, suspended between fishing valleys, countryside, and lagoon.
For 2026, the Fiera dei Sapori in Carlino is preparing its 11th edition, expected in September with dates yet to be confirmed (in 2025 it was held from September 19th to 21st, in 2024 from October 18th to 20th). The format of three days dedicated to the region's flavours is renewed, with Piazza San Rocco as the heart of the event.
The programme includes food stalls with specialities from the Friulian lagoon and countryside, themed tastings, evening concerts, guided excursions, family activities, and culinary competitions. The event is promoted by the Municipality of Carlino with the Pro Loco and local associations.
The detailed programme for the 11th edition and the official dates will be announced in the coming weeks by the Municipality of Carlino. Based on previous editions, the fair typically unfolds as follows:
