In two October weekends(16-19 and 23-26 October 2025) it takes place in Rosa (San Vito al Tagliamento) the PanZal (yellow bread) Festival, right when the saint Patron of is celebrated (October 18th).
The “Pan-Zal” is a small sweet pumpkin focaccia, traditionally prepared in October by the people of Rosa.
The Festival takes place in a 2,000sqm heated paved pavilion, where different stands, a stage for the orchestra, and a dance floor are set.
The rich program makes the Festival widely popular with music, stands, food… obviously including the traditional pan-zal, served on ceramic plates with metal cutlery.
