About Lardirago Fair

The Lardirago Fair is an ancient and traditional livestock fair held annually, on the weekend of the second Sunday in July, in the small municipality of Lardirago in the province of Pavia. Along the streets of the town centre, there are exhibitors of artistic crafts, hobbyists, and various merchandise stalls, alongside gastronomic stands; the castle courtyard hosts wine tastings, musical performances, sports activities, and exhibitions. It is one of the historic fairs of the Pavese region, rooted in the agricultural vocation of the plain.

A livestock fair with ancient roots

The Lardirago Fair is one of the most traditional events in the municipality of Lardirago, in the province of Pavia. Originally a livestock fair, it maintains its connection to the agricultural vocation of the Pavia plain and is renewed each year on the weekend of the second Sunday in July, attracting visitors from all over the region.

Stalls and crafts along the town centre streets

For the occasion, the streets of the historic centre are filled with exhibitors of artistic crafts, hobbyists, and various merchandise stalls, alongside gastronomic stands offering local products. The fair thus maintains the popular character of a large village festival, where commerce, tradition, and social interaction intertwine.

The castle courtyard

The heart of the event is the Lardirago Castle, an ancient building that dominates the village: its courtyard hosts wine tastings, musical performances, sports moments, and exhibitions. The historic setting of the castle gives the fair a special charm, combining the agricultural soul of the event with a cultural and convivial dimension.

A living tradition

Promoted in the municipality of Lardirago, the fair is an uninterrupted event that marks the summer of the town and the lower Pavia plain. The official event page and local organizers update the calendar and collateral initiatives year by year.
