In less than two weeks the city of Sacile (province of Pordenone) will host what is one of the oldest events in Europe, which has even reached its number edition 744. We are talking about the "Sagra dei Osei", scheduled Sunday 20 August 2017, with the National Bird Exhibition Market and the singing competition which is famous throughout the European continent. The oldest news of this event dates back to August 1274 and the "palm" of the main European poultry event is certainly deserved.
The 2017 edition program includes a series of very interesting initiatives. The singing competition will have species as participants Song thrush, Redwing, Blackbird, Tordina, Finch, Brambling, Quail, Siskin e Goldfinch. The “National Thrush” will also be elected and visitors will be able to refer to about a hundred exhibitors and traders: we are talking about about 50 thousand exhibits.
During the day, then, space will be given to the exhibition of European samples of hen, without forgetting the competition for canaries, exotic and hybrid birds. The organization of the festival was organized by the Pro Sacile Association, with the patronage of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region and the Province of Pordenone. The appointment, as usual, is at the Garden of the Serenissima.
