Seven days of celebration, tradition, and Polesine taste in Piazza Papa Giovanni XXIII
The Lusia Fair is one of the most cherished summer events in the Polesine region, in the municipality of Lusia, province of Rovigo. For seven days in July, Piazza Papa Giovanni XXIII becomes the heart of a village festival that combines agricultural tradition, gastronomy, and entertainment.
Lusia is famous for its vegetable gardens and its quality-marked vegetables: the fair celebrates this heritage with a gastronomic stand offering Polesine cuisine and local vegetables, alongside vegetarian and vegan options. Cooking shows and tastings complete the culinary journey.
The program features a mix of musical evenings and tribute acts, cabaret, exhibitions, car and motorcycle rallies, and parades. As tradition dictates, the feast concludes with a procession of the statue of the Madonna del Carmine through the village streets. The event is organized by the Pro Loco of Lusia.
