Sagra del frico

In the heart of the Friuli hills, in Flaibano, one of the most authentic and beloved dishes of regional culinary tradition is celebrated: the frico. This masterpiece of simplicity, made with just a few noble ingredients like cheese and potatoes, is transformed in the pan until it reaches that perfect crispness on the outside and softness inside that makes it irresistible. The Sagra del Frico, scheduled from August 1st to 15th, 2026, is the ideal stage to discover and savor the many facets of this recipe that embodies the soul of Friuli gastronomy.

During the festival, visitors will be able to taste different interpretations of frico: from the classic version to variants with onion or aromatic herbs, always accompanied by steaming polenta, typical cured meats and local wines that enhance the authentic flavors of the territory. It is not just a food festival, but a true sensory journey through Friuli culture and identity, where each bite tells stories of tradition and dedication.

Beyond the gastronomic delights, the festival offers a rich calendar of cultural events, live entertainment, popular tournaments and activities designed for children, creating a genuine and inclusive atmosphere. Flaibano becomes a meeting place where all generations can share the pleasure of good food, the beauty of traditions and the warmth of a community that loves to tell, with pride and sincerity, the bold flavors of its land.
