Fiera di Sant'Andrea a Concesio

The fair of the Sant'Andrea hamlet

The Fiera di Sant'Andrea is the traditional fair that animates the hamlet of the same name in Concesio, in the Province of Brescia, every year. It is held on the occasion of the feast of Sant'Andrea Apostolo (Saint Andrew the Apostle), on November 30th, at the parish church dedicated to the saint, and represents one of the most cherished events for the hamlet's community.

Stalls, games, and sweets

The fair transforms the streets around the parish church into a route of stalls, with sweets, games, surprises, and music. It is a popular festival in the truest sense of the word: an opportunity to gather, stroll among the stands, and experience together the atmosphere of late November tradition, on the cusp of winter.

A community tradition

Over the years, the fair has also hosted local groups and organizations, with musicians and performers who have enriched the program. Free and open to all, the Fiera di Sant'Andrea is an event that enhances the hamlet and strengthens the sense of belonging of the Concesio community.

Concesio and its hamlet festivals

The Fiera di Sant'Andrea testifies to the richness of the calendar of festivals and fairs in the hamlets of Concesio, a town in the Brescia's Valle Trompia. A simple but distinctive event, which every late November brings celebration back to the streets of the Sant'Andrea hamlet. At a time of year when the days shorten and winter is near, the fair offers an occasion for meeting and warmth, anticipating the festive atmosphere and renewing a bond with the traditions of the Brescia region that endures over time.
