About Sagra della Rassa
The 'rassa', queen of the table
In the Pordenone plain, in Basedo, a hamlet of the municipality of Chions, there is a dish that tells the story of the area's peasant tradition: 'rassa', meaning duck, cooked according to home recipes. The Sagra della Rassa is dedicated to this specialty, a large-scale village festival – "a colossal sagra" as the organizers describe it – capable of attracting visitors from all over the region.
A duck in all its forms
The 'rassa' is the absolute star of the food stalls, offered in various preparations: ragù for gnocchi, duck as a main course, and a particular variation of frico, the traditional Friulian cheese pie. Alongside the signature dish, there are also grills, cheeses, mushrooms, beans, and local wines, offering something to satisfy every palate.
Music and fun for everyone
The festival is not just about food: the evenings are enlivened by traditional orchestras, DJ sets, and themed evenings, with events such as musical performances and 90s-themed events in past editions. For the little ones, there is a funfair, while the charity raffle and exhibitions complete a program designed for all ages and generations.
Discovering the Pordenone area
Basedo and Chions are located in the plain south of Pordenone, in an agricultural area dotted with small villages and authentic gastronomic traditions. The Sagra della Rassa is the ideal opportunity to discover a specialty little known outside the local borders and to experience the warmth of a great Friulian village festival.
Sagra della Rassa — edition 2026
The 2026 edition of the Sagra della Rassa is expected in the usual early August slot in Basedo, a hamlet of Chions. The festival confirms the highly successful formula that has made this sagra famous: 'rassa' as the gastronomic star, accompanied by a rich program of musical evenings and entertainment.
