Sagra del Donatore

A festival celebrating the gift

In mid-July, as the Isontine plain heats up under the sun, Farra d'Isonzo gathers around a festival with a generous heart: the Sagra del Donatore, promoted by the local section of ADVS FIDAS Isontina. More than just a village festival, it's an event that links summer fun with a profound message, that of voluntary blood donation, a value that has been rooted in Farra for generations.

Four days of music and tradition

The event takes place in the village's festival area and unfolds over four days packed with activities: rock concerts, dance evenings with orchestras, motorcycle rallies, briscola card games, beer pong, dance performances, and the unmissable final tombola (bingo) with a rich prize pool. The food stalls, open every evening and also for lunch on Sundays, offer the flavours of Friulian and Isontine tradition, accompanied by wines from the Collio region and fresh beer.

The feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel

The festival is held concurrently with the feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel (July 16th), an element that intertwines the religious dimension with the community one, making these days the most anticipated moment of the Farra summer. The participation of the Municipality of Farra d'Isonzo and numerous associations testifies to the event's strong roots in the social fabric of the village.

Between Collio and Isonzo

Farra d'Isonzo, in the province of Gorizia, is located among the vineyards of Collio and the banks of the Isonzo river, a few kilometres from Gradisca and the Slovenian border. The festival is also an ideal opportunity to discover a territory of great wines and river landscapes, in an authentic corner of Friuli Venezia Giulia.
