Antica Fiera di Arsego
The historic agricultural and commercial fair since 1747
About Fiera di Arsego
A centuries-old fair since 1747
The Antica Fiera di Arsego has its roots in 1747, when Doge Pietro Grimani granted its establishment to the Venetian Soranzo family, who started it at their villa in Arsego, under the jurisdiction of Camposampiero. Since then, the fair has been held every third Sunday of October in the hamlet of Arsego, in San Giorgio delle Pertiche, in the province of Padova, and is one of the most important historic events in the central Veneto region.
Agricultural and commercial character
The fair retains its exclusively agricultural vocation: from the exhibition to the sale of livestock, agricultural products, and local and national specialities. Alongside the rural tradition, the streets of the centre fill with about 300 stalls selling various goods, while the calendar features exhibitions, a large funfair, and dozens of travelling shows.
Five days of celebration
The event spans five days, with the main focus on Sunday and extending to the following Monday. Between trade, agriculture, gastronomy, and entertainment, the Antica Fiera di Arsego remains an identity-defining event for the entire Camposampierese area.
Fiera di Arsego — edition 2026
For its 279th edition, the Antica Fiera di Arsego will be held in October 2026, around the third Sunday of the month, in the hamlet of Arsego. As per centuries-old tradition, the fair combines its agricultural and commercial character with stalls, a funfair, and travelling shows.
