National Corn & Horse Fair

Corn & Horse 2025: the 26th edition

From October 17th to 19th, 2025, Vigone hosted the 26th edition of the National Corn & Horse Fair. The most anticipated novelty was the inauguration of a new covered arena, which allowed spectators to enjoy the Grand Equestrian Galas sheltered from the weather.

The fair opened on Friday, October 17th at 6:30 PM with the official inauguration at the Food Pavilion and the presentation of the 14th 'Panchina d'Artista', a work by Ugo Nespolo. In the evening, an equestrian pre-gala and a musical evening with DJ Matteo Dianti took place under the heated tent.

Saturday the 18th featured the conference "New Challenges for Cereal Companies", pony rides, and the evening Grand Equestrian Gala, with music by DJ Giulia Frencia and Ebora. On Sunday the 19th, after the 'Gravel del Mais' bike ride and motorcycle baptisms, the afternoon Grand Equestrian Galas took place, followed by the final concert by the Yvonne and the Jolly orchestra. On the menu: polenta concia, polenta lasagna, mushroom roasts, and the sweet bacio di mais.
