About Fiera di Lusia

The Fiera di Lusia is the great summer fair of the Polesine region, which every July enlivens Piazza Papa Giovanni XXIII in Lusia, in the province of Rovigo, for seven days. Musical evenings, cooking shows, cabaret, exhibitions, car rallies, and parades accompany a rich gastronomic stand with Polesine cuisine and specialities from Lusia's vegetable gardens. To close the festival, a procession with the Madonna del Carmine. In 2026, the fair will reach its 50th edition.

The fair of the Polesine

The Fiera di Lusia is one of the most cherished summer events in the Polesine region, in the municipality of Lusia, province of Rovigo. For seven days in July, Piazza Papa Giovanni XXIII becomes the heart of a village festival that combines agricultural tradition, gastronomy, and entertainment.

Flavours from Lusia's vegetable gardens

Lusia is famous for its vegetable gardens and its quality-marked vegetables: the fair celebrates this heritage with a gastronomic stand offering Polesine cuisine and local vegetables, alongside vegetarian and vegan options. Cooking shows and tastings complete the culinary journey.

Music, rallies, and devotion

The programme alternates musical evenings and tributes, cabaret, exhibitions, car and motorcycle rallies, and parades. To conclude the festival, as tradition dictates, the procession with the statue of the Madonna del Carmine takes place through the village streets. The event is organised by the Pro Loco of Lusia.
