Festa del Prosciutto di San Daniele

San Daniele del Friuli · Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy · Discontinued ✅ Verified 2026

The historic 'Aria di Festa' — held annually from 1985 to 2023 — was officially discontinued by the Consorzio del Prosciutto di San Daniele in February 2024, after 37 editions. The Consorzio's stated reason: prosciutto tourism in the town is now active nearly year-round, making a single dedicated festival unnecessary. San Daniele's prosciuttifici (curing houses) still offer guided tours and tastings on an ongoing basis, and the Consorzio now runs 'Aria di San Daniele,' a touring promotional event held in other Italian cities rather than in San Daniele itself.
