Sagra delle Cape

Spring arrives in Lignano Sabbiadoro with the authentic flavors of the Adriatic at the Sagra delle Cape, a gastronomic festival that has celebrated the maritime traditions of Friuli since 1984. Born from the vision of local fishermen and dedicated maintained by the APS 'Al Mare' Association, this celebration offers an unmissable opportunity to discover the sea's culinary treasures: from long clams to small Venus clams, from grilled sardines to squid, all prepared according to authentic recipes by master craftsmen. During nine days of festivities, Piazza Marcello d'Olivo transforms into a paradise for food lovers, where you can taste local specialties in a welcoming and genuine atmosphere that unites culture, tradition, and conviviality. The event attracts both residents and tourists eager to savor the finest fruits of our sea in dishes that tell stories of fishing heritage and culinary wisdom. Food stands remain open from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM on weekdays and from 11:30 AM to 11:00 PM on weekends. Beyond culinary pleasure, the Sagra delle Cape carries profound charitable value: all proceeds from sales are donated to numerous local and national organizations and associations, transforming every taste into an act of generosity. An extraordinary opportunity to enjoy, discover, and do good.
