Noceto July Fair
The town's big summer fair, a whole month of music, food, and tradition
About July Fair Noceto
A Summer Tradition in the Heart of Noceto
The July Fair is the big summer festival of Noceto, a municipality in the province of Parma in Emilia-Romagna. It's not a single event but a true widespread review that, for the entire month of July, transforms the historic center into an open-air stage. Now in its 57th edition in 2025, the fair is a pillar of the Noceto calendar and a draw for the entire lower Parma area.
Music, Gastronomy, and Markets
The program blends many different facets: tribute band and cover concerts, dancing evenings, shows for children, street food, and evening markets. The town squares — Piazza Repubblica, Piazza Partigiani, Piazza Garibaldi, and the Music Castle park — become the focal points of the festival, each offering its own entertainment.
- The Noceto Music Food Fest, the gastronomic and musical heart of the fair, with food trucks and on-the-road cuisine accompanied by live concerts.
- The Pink Night, a special evening that colors the historic center pink with DJ sets, art and craft markets, and shops open late.
- The Music in the Castle event, with jazz concerts and author events held in the Music Castle park and villas in the area.
- The funfair in Via Sordi, with rides and attractions for families and children.
A Festival for the Whole Town
The strength of the July Fair lies in its popular and widespread nature: organized by the Municipality of Noceto with the contribution of local associations and traders, it is designed to involve all generations. The hamlets and neighboring municipalities of the province of Parma participate in large numbers, making this event one of the most cherished summer appointments in the area, filled with folk music, local flavors, and the typical convivial atmosphere of Emilia's town fairs.
