The Ferragosto fair of August 16th in the center of Magenta
The Fiera di San Rocco is one of the traditional events in Magenta (Province of Milan). It is held every year on August 16th, the day dedicated to San Rocco, on a fixed date that places it in the heart of the Ferragosto period. For an entire day, the city comes alive with the stalls of street vendors, in a large open-air market.
The fair extends over a large route that includes Piazza Liberazione, Via Mazzini, Via Garibaldi, Via Villoresi, Via Matteotti, Via Santa Caterina da Siena, Via Santa Crescenzia, Via Fanti, Campo Aquile, and Piazza Kennedy. Approximately one hundred and sixty-six street vendors offer goods of all kinds, on a day that attracts visitors from all over the Magentino area.
The Fiera di San Rocco preserves the memory of its original agricultural vocation: an area of the event is dedicated to this tradition, recalling the historical link between the festival and the rural world of the territory. Today, the fair is above all a major market and social event in the heart of Magenta's summer.
