Sagra di San Pietro a Romans di Varmo

Romans di Varmo celebrates Saint Peter

Romans di Varmo is a hamlet within the municipality of Varmo, located in the Bassa friulana region, province of Udine. Every year, at the end of June, the village comes together for the Sagra di San Pietro (St. Peter's Festival), a celebration dedicated to the patron saint, organised with great dedication by the Pro Loco Lis Aghis. It is one of those long and well-attended festivals that mark the Friulian summer, capable of drawing people from neighbouring towns for several consecutive evenings.

Friulian Cuisine and Many Evenings of Entertainment

The heart of the festival is the food stall, where visitors can enjoy the great classics of Friulian cuisine and convivial tradition: grilled meats, calamari, fried fish, chips, frico, pizza, cakes, and much more. The evenings run for over a week, with a packed schedule of live music, dance orchestras, theatre in the Friulian language, DJ sets, and evenings designed for younger audiences.

Sport and Community

Alongside the delicious food, the festival traditionally also features sports tournaments and competitions, involving local youth and teams. This is the hallmark of festivals in the Bassa region: a mix of gastronomy, entertainment, sport, and socialising, where the entire community gets involved to offer visitors days of authentic celebration.

A Recurring Event

The Sagra di San Pietro is held every year at the end of June: the 2024 edition took place from June 22nd to 30th. The dates for 2026 will be confirmed by Pro Loco Lis Aghis in the weeks preceding the event. For those seeking the genuine atmosphere of Friulian village festivals, away from the tourist trails, Romans di Varmo is a destination worth the journey.
