Agricultural Fair and Feast of Saint Christina

A Historic Fair

The Agricultural Fair and Feast of Saint Christina in Calvisano, a municipality in the province of Brescia in the lower plain, is one of the longest-standing events in the area: since 1977, it has celebrated agriculture, human labor, and rural traditions. For an entire weekend, the town center transforms into a large open-air stage.

Machinery, Tractors, and Crafts

The heart of the fair lies in the exhibitions of agricultural machinery, equipment, and vintage tractors, alongside thematic displays and areas dedicated to ancient crafts. A continuous dialogue between past and present that tells the agricultural identity of Calvisano and the Brescia plain.

Local Excellence

Among the most beloved attractions are the Calvisius sturgeon, world-renowned protagonist of Calvisano's caviar, and the Greased Pole, a traditional game that tests the most daring. There is also space for honey, with Paganini apiary, winner of the Goccia d'Oro, featured in a dedicated tasting on Sunday morning.

The Grand Fireworks Finale

Closing the event on Sunday evening, a spectacular fireworks display illuminates the Calvisano sky: a low-noise "Baroque" show, designed to be respectful of animals and the environment. A spectacular finale for a celebration that combines tradition, fun, and taste.
