Booths will line up the streets in the city centre, with a focus on local wines and on Friulian typical dishes and products: for the first time, there'll be a special location devoted to the products bearing the label “Io Sono Friuli Venezia Giulia” (I am FVG), the brand launched a coupkle of years ago by Friuli Venezia Giulia regional government to support local farmers and producers, and their dealers.

Fun will play an important part in the Sagra del Vino: street artists and live music will spice up the streets of Casarsa, and the fairground will delight families attending the festival with their chidlren. Plus, sporting events such as a walk for dog owners (April 24), a walk for children in the country surrounding Casarsa (April 25), a trout fishing competition (April 25) and a basket tournament (April 25).
