The Ferragosto of Forni di Sotto
Forni di Sotto, a municipality in the upper Val Tagliamento immersed in the Friulian Dolomites Park, dedicates the height of summer to Fieste dal Pais, the "village festival" that has enlivened the Carnic Ferragosto for decades. It is the occasion when the small mountain community comes together: alongside residents, emigrants, distant families, and numerous tourists who choose this valley for its unspoiled nature return.
The program revolves around the rediscovery of local gastronomy, with stands offering traditional Carnic and Forni di Sotto dishes, accompanied by evenings of music, entertainment, and moments of conviviality. The festival, organized by the Pro Loco of Forni di Sotto, is part of the rich Ferragosto calendar of the Pro Loco of Friuli Venezia Giulia and maintains a genuine atmosphere, far from large crowds, characterized by hospitality and village identity.
The setting is that of the Friulian Dolomites: meadows, woods, and peaks form the backdrop to a festival that celebrates the bond between the community and its mountains. For those visiting Carnia during Ferragosto, Fieste dal Pais is the ideal opportunity to discover the hospitality of Forni di Sotto and the authentic flavors of one of Friuli's most genuine valleys.
In 2026, Fieste dal Pais once again confirms its tradition linked to Ferragosto, enlivening Forni di Sotto around August 15th. The festival, organized by the Pro Loco and included in the Ferragosto calendar of the Pro Loco of Friuli Venezia Giulia, offers stands with local gastronomy, musical evenings, and moments of conviviality that have characterized the most cherished event of the Forni summer for decades.
The detailed program for the 2026 edition will be announced by the Pro Loco of Forni di Sotto in the weeks preceding the festival. Based on tradition, around August 15th (Ferragosto), the following are expected:
How to get there: Forni di Sotto (UD) can be reached via the SS52 Carnica, in the upper Val Tagliamento, between Ampezzo and Forni di Sopra.
Admission: free access to the festival; food and drinks at the stands are paid.
Information: Pro Loco of Forni di Sotto and the calendar of the Pro Loco of Friuli Venezia Giulia.
