At the end of October, Brtonigla once again celebrates the forest’s autumn treasure — the mushroom, with one of the largest seasonal events in northwestern Istria. This year’s edition will take place on October 25 and 26 at St. Zenon Square.

Over two days, nature lovers, mushroom enthusiasts and outdoor fans will enjoy a rich program featuring a diverse mushroom exhibition, tastings of mushroom-based dishes, and a charming fair of local products. The event aims to promote mycology, encourage responsible foraging, and raise awareness about the importance of preserving mushroom habitats.

Saturday is dedicated to competitions in mushroom picking, in search of the most beautiful and largest mushroom, in the early afternoon cultural programme, lunch and dinner in good company with musical entertainment.
Sunday is dedicated to the preparation of mushroom cauldron and musical entertainment.

Throughout the weekend, guests will have the opportunity to visit the mycological exhibition and buy local products such as extra virgin olive oil, wine, honey, mushrooms, chestnuts and many other autumn products. In addition to all the listed activities, visitors will also be able to enjoy the sweet creations of local pastry chefs.
