About Fiera di Rustega

Born in 1976, the Fiera della Zootecnia di Rustega is one of the most important agricultural shows in the Padua area. For ten days, the hamlet of Rustega, in Camposampiero, hosts exhibitions of cattle, horses, and poultry, agricultural machinery shows, the Gran Galà Equestre (Grand Equestrian Gala), horse races, the Haflinger competition, the "Vini in Fiera" (Wines at the Fair) wine review, and a large food stand. An event that since 1976 tells the rural soul of Veneto, combining the primary sector, entertainment, and village festival.

Almost half a century of livestock tradition

Since 1976, the Fiera della Zootecnia di Rustega has been the major event celebrating the primary sector in the heart of the Padua region. It takes place in the hamlet of Rustega, in Camposampiero (province of Padua), at Via Borgo Rustega 88, and for ten days it transforms the fairgrounds into a showcase for Venetian agriculture and livestock farming.

Animals, machinery, and entertainment

The heart of the fair is the exhibition of various animal species — cattle, horses, poultry — alongside innovative agricultural machinery. But the Fiera di Rustega is also about entertainment and tradition: the Gran Galà Equestre, horse races, the Haflinger competition, and the Vini in Fiera wine review enrich the program, while the food stand accompanies the evenings with local cuisine and DJ sets.

A festival for the territory

More than just a trade exhibition, the fair is a popular festival that attracts visitors from all over the Camposampiero area and the province of Padua, blending farming culture with the fun and conviviality typical of large Venetian sagre (local festivals).
