About Easter Fair

The so-called Easter Fair is the traditional spring festival of Chignolo Po, in the province of Pavia, located between the hills of Oltrepรฒ and the plain of the great river. In the days around Easter, the town comes alive with craft markets, activities for children, a funfair, improvisation theatre, and gastronomic events such as polenta and fried small fish. A community event that combines history, flavours, and fun with the arrival of the warmer season.

Chignolo Po's Spring Festival

In Chignolo Po, in the province of Pavia, the Easter Fair has been the event marking the arrival of spring for decades. The town, overlooking the great river between hills and plains, transforms for a few days into a large space for widespread celebration, with its blend of history, flavours, and popular tradition.

Markets, Games, and Gastronomy

The fair's program is designed for all ages and usually includes:

  • Craft market and stalls in the town centre
  • Activities and games for children
  • Funfair
  • Improvisation theatre and shows
  • Gastronomic events such as polenta and fried small fish, with the contribution of organisations like Auser
  • Awards and community initiatives, such as the awarding of scholarships

A Community Event

Organised by the Municipality of Chignolo Po, the Easter Fair is much more than a market: it is a celebration that involves associations, schools, and residents, renewing the sense of belonging to the town every year. Among the offerings, there is also a focus on the region's culture, in an event that has accompanied Easter in the province of Pavia for years.
