Majano Festival

More than half a century of Friulian summer

Few festivals in Italy can boast the history of the Majano Festival. Born in 1961, it has spanned the decades as one of the most beloved and long-lasting summer events in Friuli Venezia Giulia: in 2026, it will reach its 66th edition. Organized by Pro Majano with the support of the Region and the Municipality of Majano, it is much more than a concert series: it is a great community celebration that, for over three weeks, transforms this town in the foothills of Udine into the beating heart of the regional summer.

The winning formula, honed over sixty years, combines three souls: music, with major Italian and international names on the main stage and many free admission events on the secondary stage; food and wine, with stands showcasing the flavors of Friuli; and the dimension of popular celebration, with exhibitions, sports, and cultural events for all ages.

A lineup for every taste

The Majano Festival has hosted generations of artists on its stage, from great singer-songwriters to the rap of the new generation, from international rock to dance music, up to classical and symphonic music. Alongside paid concerts, a rich free program with tribute bands, dance nights, and local groups animates the festival area every evening.

Music and memory

In 2026, the year of the 50th anniversary of the 1976 Friuli earthquake, the festival further links its identity to the memory of the territory: the opening night celebrates the Friulian rebirth with a grand symphonic-choral event. This is a sign of an event that, while looking to the big names on the national scene, never forgets its roots in its land.

Majano, in the heart of the Friulian hills

Majano is a municipality in the province of Udine, in the hilly area west of the provincial capital, near the Tagliamento river and a few kilometers from San Daniele del Friuli. Its festival area, equipped to accommodate large numbers, is the natural stage for a festival that has become a benchmark for the entire Northeast over the years.
