Fiera del Rosario
The largest historic and popular fair in eastern Veneto
About Fiera del Rosario
The great autumn fair of San Donà
The Fiera del Rosario is the most anticipated and iconic event in San Donà di Piave, in the province of Venice. It takes place around the first Monday in October and in the week immediately preceding it, transforming the entire city center into a large open-air market with over five hundred stalls in the streets and squares.
A festival for the entire Triveneto
The fair attracts tens of thousands of people from all over the Triveneto region, drawn by stalls of all kinds, the trade exhibition, food stands, and two funfairs (in Piazza Rizzo and Via Pralungo). It is an event that combines commerce, gastronomy, entertainment, and tradition, experienced by the city as a true popular festival.
Origins and the Battle of Lepanto
The fair's roots probably date back to before the 17th century. Some elements link it to the Battle of Lepanto in 1571, whose victory was consecrated to the Virgin of the Rosary: hence the name and the connection to the first Sunday in October. The event is organized by the Pro Loco of San Donà di Piave with the Municipality, and traditionally concludes with the Festa de a Poenta Bianca.
