About Onion Fair
When Gargnano Returns to Its Ancient Fair
The Re-enactment of the Onion Fair brings to Gargnano (Province of Brescia) the echo of an event rooted in centuries past, when the fair was a central moment for trade and economic life in the village overlooking Lake Garda. For one day, Piazza Feltrinelli transforms into a market of yesteryear.
Ancient Crafts and Local Flavours
The heart of the re-enactment lies in the demonstrations of ancient crafts and the stalls of typical Garda products, with the onion – the star of the historical fair – taking centre stage. The recreated atmosphere evokes the rural and artisan life of the past, in a journey that intertwines memory, tradition, and taste.
- Demonstrations of ancient crafts and artisan skills;
- Stalls of typical products and local Garda gastronomy;
- Historical atmosphere in the heart of Gargnano;
- Entertainment and festive moments along Piazza Feltrinelli and the lakefront.
The event is part of Gargnano's summer calendar and contributes to enhancing the historical and gastronomic identity of the Garda village.
