Carmagnola Spring Fair

A centuries-old tradition

The Carmagnola Spring Fair is one of the most deep-rooted and ancient agricultural events in Piedmont. With its 562nd edition in 2026, the fair stands as a testament to the enduring bond between the town of Carmagnola, in the Province of Turin, and the culture of the land. Each year, at the start of spring, the town center comes alive with a major gathering that attracts producers, breeders, exhibitors, and thousands of visitors from across the region.

The livestock heart: The Cattle Exhibition

The most iconic element of the fair is the Provincial Exhibition of Piedmontese and Italian Friesian Cattle, which celebrated its 45th edition in 2026. Hosted at the Foro Boario in Piazza Italia, the event is curated by the Regional Breeders Association of Piedmont (ARA Piemonte) in collaboration with ANABORAPI, the National Association of Piedmontese Cattle Breeders, and ANAFIBJ. The Piedmontese breed, renowned for the quality of its meat, is the star of this showcase dedicated to the region's livestock excellence.

Agriculture, machinery, and markets

The fair unfolds as a large pedestrian loop winding through the center of Carmagnola, organized into several thematic areas:

• Agricultural machinery: tractors, equipment, and technology for field work;
• Food and wine: local products and tastings curated by the Chierese-Carmagnolese Food District;
• Trade and crafts: stalls, exhibitors, and markets along the central streets;
• Family areas: small pets and farm animals, which are particularly popular with children.

Conferences and technical sessions

The event is more than just an exhibition: activities begin on Friday with technical meetings and conferences aimed at industry professionals, accompanied by guided tastings focused on promoting the local livestock supply chain. It is an opportunity for discussion and in-depth analysis that reinforces the fair's role as a benchmark for the Piedmontese agricultural world.

An event for the entire region

The Carmagnola Spring Fair takes place regardless of weather conditions and represents a moment of celebration and regional promotion for both the town and the entire Province of Turin. Blending tradition, flavors, and rural culture, it is an event that unites the professional side of the agricultural sector with a popular, family-friendly atmosphere, in true Piedmontese spirit.
