Sagra della Trota di Bagnarola

The Queen of the Table: Trout

In Bagnarola, a hamlet of Sesto al Reghena in the province of Pordenone, one of the most beloved gastronomic festivals in western Friuli has been celebrated since 1991: the Sagra della Trota. The absolute star is trout, farmed and prepared in all its variations: pâté, gnocchi, smoked trout, hunter-style trout, and mixed grill, accompanied by local wines, beer, and specialties from the food stalls. On weekends, spit-roasted chicken is also available, among the most requested dishes.

Music, Bands, and Youth Evenings

In addition to gastronomy, the Sagra della Trota is famous for its rich musical program. Evenings feature traditional Friulian and Venetian dance bands, free concerts by well-known Italian performers, and the Kiosc'on youth area, open every evening with cocktails, music, guests, and DJ sets. Among the cult events are the Trototom reggae festival and themed evenings.

A Festival for Twelve Thousand Visitors

With over thirty years of history and around twelve thousand visitors per edition, the Sagra della Trota is a landmark event in the Pordenone festival calendar. Organized by the local associations of Bagnarola, it is the result of the work of hundreds of volunteers who transform the hamlet into a grand celebration each year.

Sesto al Reghena, Land of Abbeys

The festival takes place in the municipality of Sesto al Reghena, famous for its Benedictine abbey of Santa Maria in Sylvis, one of Friuli's most important monuments. This setting combines popular celebration with the charm of a territory rich in history and nature, along the course of the Reghena river.
