About Sagre dai Borgs

In Jalmicco, a hamlet of Palmanova, the Sagre dai Borgs is one of the most traditional and long-standing festivals in the Bassa friulana, with over half a century of history. Five days in July featuring homemade gnocchi, grilled meats, fried calamari, beer, music with dance orchestras, the village relay race, and many initiatives for the community.

Half a century of tradition in Jalmicco

Jalmicco is a hamlet of Palmanova, the famous star-shaped city, a UNESCO heritage site 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 a defining event for the entire community.

Taste, dancing, and community

For five days, the 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, following the best tradition of Friulian festivals.

The program is full of initiatives: the village relay race, the eagerly awaited race that opens the festival, the charity raffle with rich prizes, painting and sculpture exhibitions, and moments dedicated to the inclusion and participation of the entire community. The event is organized by Pro Loco Jalmic, the soul of the hamlet's community 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 event not to be missed in the Friulian summer.
