L Budinè e la Budinera al Mercà — Sangano Agricultural, Craft and Trade Fair
The spring fair of the Valsangone valley, blending rural roots with the legendary Budinè
About Sangano Agricultural Fair
A festival that tells the story of the Valsangone valley
The Sangano Agricultural, Craft and Trade Fair is the most anticipated spring event in this small town in the Valsangone valley, in the province of Turin. For two days, the town centre comes alive with the voices of farmers, the scent of local produce, and the bustle of exhibitors, in a celebration that puts the rural roots of the Piedmont region at the heart of the experience.
The Budinè, the soul of the fair
The dialect name of the fair, "L Budinè e la Budinera al Mercà", refers to the Budinè, a traditional blood sausage seasoned with spices that has always been a staple of the valley's peasant cuisine. The flavours of the fair revolve around this iconic product: cheeses, cured meats, honey, bread, pastries, and other Piedmontese culinary specialties, all showcased at the "Sapori in Piazza" (Flavours in the Square) stands.
What to expect at the fair
The event brings together agricultural, artisanal, and commercial dimensions. Along Via San Lorenzo, Piazza Matta, and the surrounding streets, you will find:
- livestock and agricultural equipment displays;
- exhibitions of vintage tractors and historic farm machinery;
- craft and hobbyist stalls;
- farm-to-table producers and local specialties;
- activities and workshops for families and children.
A community event
Organised by the Municipality of Sangano with the support of the Pro Loco and local associations, the fair is much more than a market: it is a celebration that unites the entire Valsangone community, honours the bond with the land, and keeps the crafts and flavours of yesteryear alive. The tractor parade, convivial moments hosted by the Alpini, and evening entertainment round off a weekend that has been attracting visitors from Turin and the surrounding area for years.
Sangano Agricultural Fair — edition 2026
