About Fiera di Santa Maria e San Rocco
Mid-summer fair
In Pietrabbondante, a village in upper Molise in the province of Isernia, the Fiera di Santa Maria e San Rocco takes place on August 15th and 16th, combining two anniversaries: the Assumption of Mary (Santa Maria, on the 15th) and the feast of Saint Roch (on the 16th).
Market and celebrations
For two days, the town centre comes alive with the market and the fair's stalls, while religious celebrations mark the double anniversary. It's Ferragosto time in Pietrabbondante, when the village welcomes back emigrants and the many visitors connected to the town and its Sannite heritage.
