The traditional Ferragosto fair in Cantù
In Cantù, a city in the Brianza region in the province of Como, August 15th is not just Ferragosto: it is also the day of the Fiera di San Rocco, one of the traditional fairs that the Municipality officially recognizes and codifies among its historic events, alongside the Fiera di Sant'Apollonia and the Fiera del Crocifisso.
For one day, the streets of the center are filled with stalls and exhibitors, offering a varied range of goods and the traditional stands of food and drink products. It is the classic mid-August village fair: an opportunity to stroll, browse among the stalls, and gather in the city, at a time of year when many return to breathe the atmosphere of the historic center.
The Fiera di San Rocco is included in the regulations for public area trade in the Municipality of Cantù: the assignment of pitches takes place every year through an official tender, confirming the institutional and traditional value of this event. A guarantee of continuity for a fair that, year after year, marks the Cantù summer on Ferragosto and keeps alive a custom rooted in the city's commercial history.
On Saturday, August 15, 2026, on Ferragosto, Cantù renews the Fiera di San Rocco. The streets of the center host numerous exhibitors for a day of traditional fair, part of the Municipality's historic fairs calendar.
