About Fiera di San Rocco

On August 15th, while Italy celebrates Ferragosto, Cantù renews one of its oldest fairs: the Fiera di San Rocco. Codified among the historic fairs in the municipal regulations, it fills the streets of the city center in the province of Como with numerous exhibitors and stalls, offering Cantù residents and visitors a day of strolling, shopping, and tradition in the heart of summer. A commercial event with an ancient flavour, linking the mid-August holiday to the life of the Brianza city.

A fair on Ferragosto

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.

Stalls and tradition

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.

A codified event

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.
