About Sant'Anna Agricultural Fair
A historic fair in the heart of Lessinia
The Agricultural Fair and Patronal Feast of Sant'Anna d'Alfaedo is one of the oldest and most cherished events in Lessinia, the mountain plateau in the province of Verona. Every year, at the end of July, the village celebrates its patron saint Sant'Anna (July 26th) with six days of festivities that blend agricultural tradition, religious devotion, and popular entertainment.
The agricultural soul and the Haflinger horses
The heart of the event remains tied to mountain agriculture: the market of typical products, the exhibition of agricultural machinery, and the picturesque Haflinger horse show, a symbolic breed of the alpine valleys. There are also conferences dedicated to the territory and agriculture, photographic exhibitions, and activities for children. The feast is organized by the Pro Loco Sant'Anna d'Alfaedo.
Music, shows, and mountain flavors
The evenings come alive with concerts, DJ sets, laser light shows, tribute bands, and live music in the village squares. The food stands offer traditional Lessinia dishes, especially Lessinia gnocchi and tastasal risotto, accompanied by Veronese wines. The fair concludes with traditional fireworks.
