Saint Martin's Festival
The patronal feast of Fanna, with spit-roast, chestnuts, and Friulian tradition
About Saint Martin in Fanna
A Village Festival with an Autumn Scent
When the leaves turn yellow at the foot of the Carnic Prealps, Fanna gathers around its patron saint to bring the Saint Martin's Festival to life, an event that has marked the autumn of this small municipality in the province of Pordenone for decades. It's one of those festivals that tell the soul of rural Friuli: unpretentious, substantial, and with an entire community rolling up its sleeves to welcome visitors.
Spit-Roast, Rabbit, and Traditional Flavors
The heart of the festival is gastronomic. Under the heated marquee in the celebration area of Via Bruni, the stands managed by Pro Loco Fanna offer the specialties that have made the event famous: spit-roast pork ribs and spit-roast rabbit, slow-cooked according to tradition, accompanied by polenta, minestrone, chestnuts, and mulled wine. Local wines and 'cicchetti' (small snacks) from the 'frasca' (local tavern) are also available, perfect for warming up November evenings.
Music, Theatre, and Fun for Everyone
Alongside the food, the program includes live music and DJ sets, theatre in the Friulian language, cultural exhibitions, card tournaments, and table football. For the little ones, there are creative workshops, dancing, and dedicated activities, while the weekend comes alive with market stalls and food and craft stands. Among the most heartfelt events is the charity walk, which combines sport, health, and fundraising.
A Village to Discover
The festival is also an opportunity to discover Fanna and its territory, nestled between Monte Raut and the Meduna river, a stone's throw from Maniago and the Friulian Dolomites. The festival is promoted by Pro Loco Fanna APS with the support of the Municipality of Fanna and numerous local associations, in an example of volunteerism that keeps the community alive.
