About Fiera d'Agosto

In August, San Giacomo delle Segnate, in the Oltrepò Mantovano region, celebrates its festival in honour of the patron saint, Saint James the Apostle. A week of festivities with a funfair, night walk, food stalls, pumpkin tortelli, live music, and fireworks, organised by Pro Loco Segnate with municipal patronage.

The Fiera d'Agosto of San Giacomo delle Segnate

The Fiera d'Agosto is the grand patronal festival of San Giacomo delle Segnate, a municipality in the province of Mantua in the Oltrepò Mantovano area. It takes place in mid-August in honour of the patron saint Saint James the Apostle (whose liturgical feast day is 25th July) and is organised by Pro Loco Segnate with the patronage of the municipal administration.

A week of festivities

The festival enlivens the town for several days with a rich programme: the funfair, the entertainment area in the church square, tournaments, charity raffles, and numerous initiatives. The food stall is open every evening with traditional Mantuan dishes and quality cuisine.

Tortelli, race, and fireworks

Among the most anticipated events are the Night Run, the night walk, evenings dedicated to pumpkin tortelli, live music, and the fireworks that beautifully conclude the festival. The Fiera d'Agosto is the main event of the summer in San Giacomo and a landmark for the entire Oltrepò Mantovano region.
