About FAT Agricultural Fair
The Teramo Agricultural Fair
The FAT — Teramo Agricultural Fair is the leading agricultural and agri-food event in the province of Teramo and one of the longest-running in Abruzzo. Organized by the Municipality of Teramo through the Department of Commerce, Fairs, and Markets, the fair takes place every spring in the expansive green area of the Parco Fluviale Davide De Carolis, along the banks of the river that flows through the city, attracting visitors from across the region and beyond.
A vast space dedicated to the land
Spanning over 12,000 square meters, the fair hosts more than 200 exhibitors from various regions: farms, producers of local delicacies, wineries, olive mills, breeders, and agricultural machinery manufacturers. The fair serves as a vital economic engine for the area, acting as a meeting point for producers, industry professionals, and the public, while promoting agricultural supply chains and celebrating the flavors of Abruzzo.
What to see at the fair
- Abruzzo Area dedicated to typical regional products, from cheeses and cured meats to legumes and traditional desserts;
- Wine and Olive Oil Cellar featuring local wines and oils to discover Teramo and Abruzzo denominations;
- Animal Exhibition, a livestock area designed to delight visitors of all ages;
- Farmers' Markets with direct sales from producers;
- Conferences and thematic meetings on agriculture, food safety, animal husbandry, and food culture;
- Guided tastings of cheeses, meats, arrosticini, and preserved products.
For families and children
Significant space is reserved for education and families: animal areas and educational activities introduce younger generations to the rural world, while musical performances and entertainment brighten the days. The FAT is not just a commercial showcase, but a journey into the Teramo agricultural tradition, blending taste, rural culture, and environmental sustainability.
A tradition looking to the future
With over thirty years of history, the Teramo Agricultural Fair bridges the memory of rural life with innovation, with a special focus on sustainability: in recent years, the event has adopted reusable cups and compostable materials for all catering activities. It is a defining event for the Municipality of Teramo and the entire Abruzzo region, celebrating the land, its flavors, and the future of agriculture every spring.
