Sagre dai Borgs

Half a century of tradition in Jalmicco

Jalmicco is a hamlet of Palmanova, the famous star-shaped UNESCO World Heritage city in the heart of the Bassa friulana. It is here that every July the Sagre dai Borgs comes to life, one of the most traditional and long-standing festivals in the area: over half a century of history that makes it an identity-defining event for the entire community.

Taste, dancing, and community

For five days, the food stalls offer the great classics of the festival: homemade potato gnocchi, grilled meats, fried calamari, accompanied by beer and wine tastings. The evenings come alive with music from dance orchestras and live concerts, in the best tradition of Friulian festivals.

The program is full of initiatives: the village relay race, the highly anticipated race that opens the festival, the charity raffle with rich prizes, painting and sculpture exhibitions, and moments dedicated to inclusion and the participation of the entire community. The event is organized by Pro Loco Jalmic, the soul of the hamlet's associative life.

A stone's throw from Palmanova

Participating in the Sagre dai Borgs also means discovering a territory rich in history: the nearby Palmanova, with its star-shaped walls and large hexagonal square, is one of the most fascinating Renaissance fortresses in Europe. Between good food, music, and culture, the Jalmicco festival is an unmissable event in the Friulian summer.
