About Fregona Festival

For over 150 years, in autumn, Fregona celebrates its historic festival, one of the oldest in the Treviso hills: the first edition dates back to 1873. Three days of traditional mountain cuisine โ€“ tripe, Cansiglio venison stew, festive spit-roast, fried fish โ€“ accompanied by musical evenings, chestnuts, traditional games, and religious moments. Organized by Pro Loco Fregona and the Parish of Santa Maria Assunta, it is a community celebration at the foot of the Cansiglio plateau.

A historic festival since 1873

The Fregona Festival is one of the oldest village festivals in the Treviso hills: the first edition dates back to 1873, and in 2025, the 152nd edition was celebrated. It takes place in autumn in Fregona, in the province of Treviso, at the foot of the Cansiglio plateau, and is organized by Pro Loco Fregona together with the Parish of Santa Maria Assunta.

Mountain Cuisine

The heart of the festival is its gastronomy, which offers a traditional Venetian and mountain dish each evening: tripe, the Cansiglio venison stew typical of the area, the festive spit-roast, and fried fish. There are also roasted chestnuts and traditional games.

Music, Procession, and Community

The evenings are enlivened by concerts and live music, while Sunday blends with religious moments: the procession, the solemn mass, and the concert by the Musical Chapel. The Fregona Festival thus combines devotion, gastronomic tradition, and popular celebration, in an event that is a symbol for the town and the Alta Marca Trevigiana.
