For years, the connection with the local area has been a characterizing feature of Folkest’s artistic project,
which has devised a new way to connect and bring music and tradition to lesser-known places, creating
connections and cultural growth for Friuli Venezia Giulia and neighboring territories.
The integration between cultural activities and artistic proposals, aimed at a medium-to-high profile
cultural tourism, has forged a strong bond with the local area, offering the public the best in terms of
quality and artistic compatibility: from pure folk to popular songs, from folk-rock to bluegrass, from
ancient music to jazz, and world music.
The long distribution journey of shows throughout the regional area for the year 2024 will start on June
13th and conclude on August 17th, with events programmed around various municipalities of the region:
Arta Terme, Artegna, Campoformido, Caneva, Castelnovo del Friuli, Cercivento, Cividale del Friuli, Clauzetto, Gorizia, Fiumicello Villa Vicentina, Flaibano, Forgaria nel Friuli, Lusevera, Prato Carnico, Pulfero, Ragogna, Reana del Rojale, Ronchi dei Legionari, Romans d’Isonzo, San Quirino, Pinzano al Tagliamento, Tramonti di Sopra, Travesio, Villacco, Vito d’Asio, Udine.
From 2023 Folkest moved back exactly where everything have begun (at those times with the name Fieste di Chenti): San Daniele del Friuli. After the big success of last year, for the 46th edition Folkest will reserve big surprises for its home town.
