This year the Festa delle Cape, an event that has been marking the beginning of spring in Lignano Sabbiadoro since 1984, will take place on the weekends 8-9 and 15-16 March 2025. 

For two weekends, the fisher association will offer in Piazza Marcello D'Olivo typical fish dishes. This festival is very appreciated in Lignano and every year attracts many people, that can spend beautiful sunny days enjoying very good food.

The Festa delle Cape is born in 1984 by the initiative of some fishermen and then brought forward by the Association A.P.S. "Al Mare" in Lignano. It has the aim of making the fish products of our Upper Adriatic sea known to residents and tourists, but above all to donate the proceeds to charity.

Useful information:

A ticket dispenser is positioned under the gazebo, at the entrance to the Festa delle Cape: anyone who arrives must take the ticket and wait for their number to be called at the checkouts while in the meantime fill in the menu sheet (present at the same gazebo) with the desired dishes and drinks.

When the number is called at the cashiers, your order is presented, you pay and you receive a number that will subsequently be called from the kitchen stand as soon as your order is ready.

Given the high influx of people at the Festa delle Cape there are queues and very long waits so it is advisable to show up a little earlier than the opening of the kitchens considering that the ticket dispenser is exposed about 15 minutes before opening of the cash register.
