About Fiera d'Ottobre

One of the oldest fairs in Southern Italy, established by decree of Charles III of Bourbon in 1742. Every October, the Polo Fieristico in Contrada Monte Arcano, Larino, hosts about a hundred exhibitors including local producers, farmers, breeders, and artisans, with horses, ponies, and typical local products. An event that intertwines rural economy, tradition, and the identity of the Frentanian city.

A fair with centuries of history

The Fiera d'Ottobre di Larino is one of the oldest trade fairs in Basso Molise. Officially established in 1742 by decree of Charles III of Bourbon – but heir to even older mercantile traditions – the fair has spanned the centuries, maintaining its role as a major event for the rural economy of the province of Campobasso.

Exhibitors and products

The fair takes place at the Polo Fieristico in Contrada Monte Arcano and brings together about one hundred exhibitors: local producers, farmers, breeders, and artisans from the area. Great space is dedicated to agriculture and livestock, with the presence of horses and ponies, and to the promotion of typical Molise products.

An identity that endures

For the city of Larino, the Fiera d'Ottobre is much more than a commercial event: it is an identity ritual that renews the Frentanian community's bond with its land and its production traditions every year, attracting visitors from all over Molise and neighboring regions.
