PUST 2026 - The carnival in the Natisone Valleys

Description

Pust v Benečiji is an archaic and mysterious carnival, just like the landscape of the Natisone Valleys where it is celebrated. Participating in it means getting in touch with the most genuine folklore of the Valleys, being inspired by the strength of its traditions and discovering an old, enchanted world, which is however still incredibly vital and actual, where old and young are united in an arcane rite of passage. It's going to take place in San Pietro al Natisone on February 7 and 8, featuring typical masks from the towns of Rodda, Mersino e Montefosca; animalistic and anthropomorphic figures, angels and devils, roosters and hens, flowers and bells, benevolent and malevolent characters, all of them mysterious. This a very special cross-border celebration including associations from neighbouring Slovenia with their own strictly traditional masks.
