About Bird Fair
A May 1st Tradition in Montorfano
The Montorfano Bird Fair is a traditional event that attracts a large crowd every May 1st to the municipality of Montorfano, in the Province of Como, at the foot of the picturesque Monte Orfano and its lake. An outdoor fair, held on Via Canneti, dedicated to the world of birds and animals, but also rich in entertainment for families.
Birds, Birds of Prey, and Truffle Dogs
The heart of the event is the exhibition and sale of birds and various animals, complemented by spectacular demonstrations: hunting simulations with trained birds of prey (falconry), truffle dog search trials, and a dog parade with accompanying children. For the little ones, there are free inflatable games and floating rollers on the lake.
