Fiere della Maddalena
Oderzo's historic summer fair, ten days of celebration since 1233
About Fiere della Maddalena
A fair lasting almost eight centuries
The Fiere della Maddalena are the quintessential summer event of Oderzo, in the province of Treviso. Their origins date back to 1233, when they were established as a trade fair around the feast day of Mary Magdalene: a rare continuity that makes this event one of the oldest in eastern Veneto.
Ten days of celebration in the historic centre
Today, the Fiere span about ten days in July and transform Piazza Grande and the streets of the centre into a large, widespread stage. The programme combines variety and comedy shows, fashion shows "under the stars", ballroom dancing with an orchestra, dance performances, concerts, the traditional amusement park, and numerous food stalls. Among the regular events are the travelling dinner "Le vie dei goeosèssi", the evening of the Marcia Notturna della Maddalena (Maddalena Night Walk), and the final of the Oderzo Musica d'Estate singing competition.
Tradition, taste, and solidarity
Alongside the fun, the Fiere maintain a strong community and solidarity dimension, with initiatives promoted by local associations (ACLI, AVIS, and other local organisations). The grand finale is entrusted to the Opitergium Fest, with entertainment, live music, and the fireworks display that concludes the event.
