Livestock fair, exhibition, and typical cuisine in Fiaschetti di Caneva
About Maggio Fiaschettano
A Tradition Over Sixty Years Old
In Fiaschetti di Caneva, a small hamlet nestled at the foot of the Cansiglio in the province of Pordenone, the "Maggio Fiaschettano" is much more than a local festival: it's the community's very calendar. Now in its sixty-third edition, the event has its roots in the farming world and has transformed over the years into a grand village festival lasting almost three weeks, from late April to mid-May, attracting visitors from all over Western Friuli and neighboring Veneto.
The Livestock Fair and Cheese Auction
The core identity remains agricultural. On May 1st, the cattle exhibition, one of the oldest and most popular in the area, takes place, accompanied by the cheese auction, an artisan market, and sector exhibitions. These are days when the village fills with breeders, exhibitors, and curious onlookers, amidst animals on display, local products, and tools of the trade: a bond with the land that the festival proudly preserves.
Typical Cuisine, Music, and Ballroom Dancing
Under the large covered tent, cuisine is the star throughout the festival: pork knuckle, frico, burrata, and traditional Friulian dishes, served at tables and paired with local wines. The evenings are marked by dance orchestras and ballroom music, card tournaments, tribute concerts, and themed evenings, in an intergenerational format that pleases both grandparents and grandchildren. The funfair, a staple for the little ones, is also present.
Sport, Culture, and Fireworks
Alongside gastronomy and music, the program includes sporting events—youth cycling races, football quadrangular tournaments, dog shows—and cultural offerings such as photographic exhibitions and community commemorations. To close the celebrations, the traditional fireworks display lights up the Fiaschetti sky, bidding farewell to a May of festivities promoted by the Pro Loco with the support of the Municipality of Caneva.
