Montagnanese Fair

The fair that tells the story of the Paduan countryside

The Montagnanese Fair is the traditional agricultural and livestock show that enlivens the historic center of Montagnana, in the province of Padova, every early October. In the shadow of the famous 14th-century walls, the fair showcases the rural richness of the area: farm and livestock animals, agricultural machinery and equipment, typical products, and popular traditions of the Scodosia region.

Between exhibitions, flavors, and crafts

The program alternates exhibitions of animals and machinery, food stalls with the flavors of Venetian cuisine, a craft market, and itinerant shows that traverse the village. Among the highlights of the entertainment, the Bontemponi folk group offers an itinerant performance along the historic center, contributing to the festive atmosphere of a day dedicated to the land and those who work it.

A walled city celebrating

The setting for the event is the unique one of Montagnana, one of the best-preserved walled cities in Europe, in the southern Veneto region, a few kilometers from the Euganean Hills. The fair is an opportunity to discover the village, its squares, and its agricultural identity, in an event that attracts visitors from all over the province each year.
