Giaveno Spring Fair and Agricultural Fair

The May Day double event in Giaveno

May 1st has always been a highly anticipated date in Giaveno, a lively town in the Val Sangone area of the Metropolitan City of Turin, Piedmont. On this day, the town center turns into a large open-air market thanks to an event that actually hosts two: the Spring Trade Fair and the Agricultural Fair. Together, they attract thousands of visitors from across the Turin area, drawn by the festive atmosphere and the wide variety of offerings.

The Trade Fair in the historic center

The Spring Trade Fair winds through the streets of Giaveno's historic center: dozens of stalls and exhibitors offer everything from clothing and accessories to footwear, jewelry, homeware, gardening tools, as well as flowers, plants, and food products. It is an itinerary designed for shopping and discovery, transforming squares and alleys into one large commercial promenade.

The Agricultural Fair on Via Teresa Marchini

The Agricultural Fair comes to life on Via Teresa Marchini, offering a true journey into rural tradition and local production. Here, visitors will find typical local agri-food products—cheeses, cured meats, honey, preserves, and wines—alongside nurseries, displays of vintage tractors and agricultural machinery, craft beer stalls, and street food options. The agricultural section highlights the primary sector of the Val Sangone and provides a meeting point for producers, farms, and the public.

A community tradition

Organized by the Municipality of Giaveno, the Spring Fair is a tradition deeply rooted in the community, successfully blending commercial activity with the spirit of a Piedmontese folk festival. Admission is free, making it the perfect day trip to combine shopping, good food, and the discovery of rural traditions at the foot of the Cottian Alps.
