Dierico di Paularo (UD) – Sagra di San Rocco 2026 (Saint Rocco Festival)

The Sagra di San Rocco in Dierico is one of the most enchanting appointments on the Carnia festive calendar, an event that unites religious devotion, culinary tradition, and conviviality. Located in the picturesque Val d'Incarojo, this patron saint celebration transports visitors into a timeless atmosphere, where the mountain village comes alive with authentic colours, aromas, and flavours. For three consecutive days, from 14 to 16 August 2026, this small Friuli town transforms into a gastronomic oasis where local quality and tradition take centre stage. The true heart of the festival is the renowned Cjarsons di Dierico, the celebrated filled ravioli that represent Carnia's culinary excellence. This specialty is accompanied by succulent grilled meats, mushroom-based dishes featuring porcini mushrooms, territorial DOP cheeses, and other gastronomic delicacies that tell the story of the region's culinary richness. Each dish is a journey through the authentic flavours of Friuli Venezia Giulia, prepared with local ingredients and recipes passed down through generations by Carnia families. The 2026 edition promises to keep this thousand-year-old tradition alive, offering visitors the opportunity to immerse themselves in an authentic experience among the mountains of Carnia, where religious celebration and gastronomic festivity meet in perfect harmony. Beyond culinary tastings, the festival features live musical entertainment, folk animation, and a religious procession honouring the patron saint.
