About Rosary Fair

On the first Sunday of October and the following Monday, Pietrabbondante celebrates the Our Lady of the Rosary Fair. A traditional autumn fair that combines market, stalls, and religious devotion, marking the transition to the cold season in the upper Molise village with one of the most deeply rooted events in the local calendar.

The Autumn Fair

In Pietrabbondante, a village in upper Molise in the province of Isernia, the Our Lady of the Rosary Fair is the traditional autumn fair of the town. It takes place on the first Sunday of October and the following Monday, on the occasion of the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary.

Market and Devotion

The fair combines the commercial dimension — the market with stalls that liven up the streets of the centre — with the religious one, linked to the devotion to Our Lady of the Rosary. It is an event rooted in the life of the village, a moment of meeting and exchange for the inhabitants of Pietrabbondante and the surrounding municipalities of upper Molise.

A Tradition in the Local Calendar

Together with the summer fairs of San Vincenzo Ferreri and Santa Maria and San Rocco, the Our Lady of the Rosary Fair marks the calendar of Pietrabbondante's recurring events, signalling the arrival of autumn with a celebration that intertwines faith, tradition, and market.
