About Lusia Fair

The Lusia Fair is the great summer fair of the Polesine region, which every July enlivens Piazza Papa Giovanni XXIII in Lusia, in the province of Rovigo, for seven days. Musical evenings, cooking shows, cabaret, exhibitions, car rallies, and parades accompany a rich gastronomic stand with Polesine cuisine and the specialties of Lusia's vegetable gardens. The feast concludes with a procession of the Madonna del Carmine. In 2026, the fair will reach its 50th edition.

The Fair of the Polesine

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.
