Fair of Our Lady Queen of the Apostles
The fair of the Mills Area between faith, gastronomy and tradition
About Fair of Santa Maria del Molise
The fair of the Mills Area
In Santa Maria del Molise (province of Isernia), between April 30th and May 2nd, the Mills Area becomes the beating heart of the community again with the Fair in honor of Our Lady Queen of the Apostles and Saints Philip and James. It is one of the most cherished events of the year, uniting faith, memory, and popular participation.
A tradition linked to the town's history
Devotion is tied to the very history of the village: the church was rebuilt after the devastating earthquake of 1805, and the fair keeps alive a rite that blends religiosity and local identity. The event draws not only residents but also returning emigrants and visitors from neighboring towns.
Gastronomy and community
Among the most anticipated parts of the festival is the gastronomic stand managed by the Pro Loco of Sant'Angelo in Grotte, where you can taste typical Molise dishes in a convivial atmosphere. The fair thus confirms the area's vocation for authentic hospitality and the valorization of its flavors.
