About Pegli Sea Fair

The Pegli Sea Fair is one of the most beloved traditions of western Genoa. Every last Sunday of July, the Pegli seafront fills with about eighty colorful stalls selling sweets, various goods, and traditional products, set up starting from the Peragallo Gardens. A very long day, from the early morning hours until late evening, culminating in a final fireworks display over the sea. A summer event that combines a stroll along the seafront, shopping among the stalls, and the magic of fireworks, in one of the most elegant locations on the Genoese Riviera.

Pegli's Summer Festival

The Pegli Sea Fair is a regular fixture of the summer in the western part of Genoa. Pegli, an elegant seaside delegation, celebrates its traditional fair every last Sunday of July along the picturesque seafront, from the Peragallo Gardens up to Via Mulinetti.

Eighty Stalls on the Seafront

For the occasion, the seafront transforms into a long open-air market with about 85 stalls selling sweets, various goods, and traditional products. The fair is open from the early morning hours until late evening, offering visitors a full day of strolls, shopping, and a festive atmosphere with a sea view.

The Fireworks Display

The most anticipated moment is the final fireworks display, which lights up the sky over the Pegli sea around 11:15 PM. The fireworks, accompanied by sound effects, provide a spectacular finale to a day of celebration, with the crowd gathered along the promenade watching the show reflected on the water.

A Tradition That Continues

Organized by the Municipality of Genoa, the Pegli Sea Fair renews an event deeply rooted in the neighborhood's tradition each year. It's an opportunity to experience the seafront in a festive way and to discover one of the most characteristic locations on the Genoese coast.
