Mostra Regionale delle Pesche e dell'Ortofrutta Locale

A historic showcase of Friulian fruit farming

In Fiumicello Villa Vicentina, in the province of Udine, peaches are not just a fruit: they are a heritage. For decades, this corner of Bassa Friulana, blessed by a mild climate and fertile soils, has been one of the most renowned fruit-growing districts in the region, and every July it celebrates its agricultural vocation with the Mostra Regionale delle Pesche e dell'Ortofrutta Locale, one of the longest-standing and most beloved events in Friuli Venezia Giulia.

The market exhibition and local products

The heart of the event is the market exhibition, where local fruit and vegetable excellences are exhibited and sold: peaches in the first place, but also tomatoes, zucchini, cherries, and peppers, the fruit of the labour of local producers. It is a unique opportunity to buy fresh and genuine products directly from those who cultivate them, in a direct dialogue between the countryside and the consumer.

Music, culture, and community

A rich programme of initiatives revolves around the market exhibition: dancing evenings with orchestras, concerts, shows for children, art and photography exhibitions, book presentations, and conferences dedicated to sustainable agriculture, rural history, and local traditions. A great community festival that brings together farmers, artisans, residents, and tourists.

A territory to discover

The event, promoted by the Municipality of Fiumicello Villa Vicentina in collaboration with local associations, is also an opportunity to discover the Bassa Friulana, a stone's throw from Aquileia, Grado, and the lagoon. Between Roman archaeology, beaches, and good food, the Peach Exhibition is the sweetest way to get to know this corner of Friuli.
