About Expo Valle Stura

Straddling late September and early October, Rossiglione hosts Expo Valle Stura, the market fair that has been showcasing the economy and traditions of the upper Valle Stura for decades. Livestock exhibition, crafts, typical products, gastronomy, and the evocative arrival of the historic train liven up two weekends of celebration, often combined with the Chestnut Festival. It is the most complete showcase of a border territory between Liguria and Piedmont, in the heart of the Beigua Park.

The Valle Stura Fair

Expo Valle Stura is the great market fair of Rossiglione, a town in the upper Valle Stura in the Metropolitan City of Genoa. For decades, it has represented the autumn event that brings together producers, breeders, artisans, and tourism operators from the valley, in an event that combines economy, tradition, and village celebration.

Livestock, crafts, and flavors

The historic heart of the fair is the livestock exhibition, with the display of farm animals from the valley, alongside:

  • Market fair with typical products and local crafts;
  • Gastronomic stands with the traditional dishes of the Ligurian mountains;
  • the arrival of the historic train, which brings visitors from Genoa along the scenic Valle Stura line;
  • entertainment, music, and activities for families.

Two weekends of celebration

The event traditionally takes place on the last weekend of September and the first of October, often combined with the Chestnut Festival, creating a long period of celebration that enhances the flavors and landscapes of the Beigua Regional Natural Park and a border territory between Liguria and Piedmont.

Expo Valle Stura — edition 2026

Expo Valle Stura returns to Rossiglione between the last weekend of September and the first of October 2026, with its market fair, livestock exhibition, crafts, gastronomic stands, and the historic train. Confirmed as a regional event, often combined with the Chestnut Festival. The precise dates are announced by the Pro Loco.

For 2026, the fair confirms its traditional placement, straddling the last weekend of September and the first of October. The event, organized by the Pro Loco of Rossiglione, features the livestock exhibition, the market fair, gastronomy, and the historic train.
