Thèst - Ancient Basket Festival in Polcenigo

Thèst

✨Polcenigo and its Borgo are preparing to celebrate 351 years of tradition with Thést - Antica Fiera dei Cesti. 🧺 From 31/08 to 01/09.

✍🏻 The Polcenigo summer celebrates the return, on August 31 and September 1, of the Antica Fiera dei Cesti, now in its 351st edition. An event that, year after year, attracts many enthusiasts of craftsmanship, history, and culture. 🕰️

✍🏻This year the event promises to be even richer and more engaging. 50 basket makers from all over Italy, foreign weaving schools (Spanish and Polish), along with numerous side initiatives, the Fair confirms itself as an unmissable event for lovers of craftsmanship and traditions.

🖼️One of the most interesting novelties of this edition is the collaboration with the prestigious Scuola Mosaicisti del Friuli di Spilimbergo. A partnership that combines tradition and innovation. The manual art of weaving, meeting the mosaic art, has given life to two unique works: real baskets made in mosaic, which will be displayed in the Town Hall.

We look forward to seeing you in the Borgo of Polcenigo, on August 31 and September 1.
