Sapori Friulani (Friulian Flavours)
Palmanova 3-4 October
Lots of food stands plus a photography exhibition, bike ride, a Friulian comedy show, and various markets.
40th Mostra Regionale della Mela (Apple Festival)
Pantiannico 1-4 October
Many apple type activities including a 10 km fun walk on Sunday and a Miss Mela competition (of course...)
Cavalli e Profumo di Mosto
Medeazza 2-4 October
Medeazza is in the Duino-Aurisina area about 1.5 km from San Giovanni al Timavo. You can get to San Giovanni by the Trieste bus #44 or on the APT airport bus (#51). This festival looks like heaps of fun with a bunch of ozmizze open, a 3-4 hour guided walk each day (one crosses the border into Slovenia, and the other explores the trenches of WWI), "rural games" in the afternoon (I think games such as sack races...), music at night, and horse excursions (if you have a horse handy).
