Lignano says good-bye with the “Grape treading under the stars 2009”
For three years the first weekend of September in Lignano Sabbiadoro is characterized by the “Grape treading under the stars”. A special event to say good-bye to the summer in an amusing way and also to relive the ancient Italian tradition of treading grapes with the feet, but in open air, on the beach and under a starry night.
This year the “Grape treading under the stars” will take place Saturday, September the 5th, from 9.30 p.m. in the Beach Village in Lignano Sabbiadoro, located in beach office n° 4 on Lungomare Trieste. Here, on a special cart provided for the event, a lot of participants will dance barefoot on grapes in big wine vats.
A very special end-summer-party: it’s not every day to press the grapes on the beach and a short walk from Terrazza a Mare. And by tradition, grape treaders will be beautiful girls with coloured dresses.
This year “Grape treading under the stars” will have some news more: the dancers can choose to dance on stage or on grapes. It’s a real show complete with winner and election of Miss Grape Treading 2009. To win, the girls must show, in addition to the beauty, the ability in the grape treading.
“Grape treading under the stars” was a big success right from the start because spectators have a lot of fun watching the shows and the grape treading competition and at the same time they know this special tradition, from which come the world renowned Friulian wines.
A music, dance, beauty and grapes and wine scent party, just as in the agricultural world of the past.
This event attracts a lot of tourists also thanks to its wonderful location: the central and famous Beach Village, next to the Terrazza a Mare. All guests in the apartments of Lignano Sabbiadoro can easily reach it through the pedestrian zone, because it is located in front of Piazza Fontana, or with a romantic walk along the promenade.
Music, dance, beauty and the grapes scent: the mos beautiful party to say good-bye to the summer and to all tourists that spent their beach holidays in Lignano.
