About Magnacavallo Fair

In Magnacavallo, in the Oltrepò Mantovano, the village fair fills Piazza Marconi with music, flavours, and fun every June. Four days with a funfair, food stalls, and food trucks, concerts, and dialect comedy make this event one of the most beloved festivals in the area. Between musical tributes, philharmonic bands, and workshops for children, the fair unites generations in an authentically popular atmosphere.

The Village Festival

The Magnacavallo Fair is the big village festival of this municipality in the Oltrepò Mantovano, in the Province of Mantua. Every June, for four days, Piazza Marconi and the town's streets come alive with a funfair, food stalls, food trucks, live music, and shows, in an event that blends tradition and fun.

Music, Food, and Dialect Tradition

The programme alternates different moments: musical evenings with concerts and tribute bands, dialect comedy at the Multipurpose Centre, performances by the inter-municipal Philharmonic band, and creative workshops for the little ones. Food stalls and food trucks accompany the evenings, while the funfair remains open for the entire duration of the fair, giving children their own space for celebration.

A Festival for Everyone

The Magnacavallo Fair is a deeply popular and family-friendly festival. From pizza dinners to lottery draws, from pop-rock concerts to tributes to the great Italian musicians, every evening offers something for all ages. In case of bad weather, events are moved to the multipurpose hall, ensuring the programme continues.

The Oltrepò Mantovano

Magnacavallo is located in the plain of the Oltrepò Mantovano, a land of water, agriculture, and peasant traditions. The fair is an occasion for the community to come together and welcome visitors from neighbouring municipalities, in one of the events that best tells the convivial spirit of this corner of Lombardy.
