Grupignano di Cividale del Friuli (UD) – Festa della Madonna delle Grazie / Sagra della Cuccagna

In Grupignano, a hamlet of Cividale del Friuli, the traditional Festa della Madonna delle Grazie returns alongside the historic Sagra della Cuccagna. The festival enlivens the local community, bringing together religious traditions and folk celebrations in the designated area below the parish church. The day's schedule includes Holy Mass at 10:00 AM, followed in the afternoon by a solemn procession at 4:00 PM and the eagerly awaited greasy pole contest ('albero della cuccagna') starting at 5:00 PM. Throughout the event, a well-stocked food stall is open to serve locals and visitors alike.
