Sagra del Contadino di Mairano
Twenty years of rural traditions in the Bassa bresciana
About Sagra del Contadino
The festival of the farming world
The Sagra del Contadino in Mairano (Province of Brescia) is one of the most cherished events in the Bassa bresciana. For over twenty years, it has celebrated local rural traditions, presenting the public with an image of a farming civilisation built on fieldwork, tools, trades, and rhythms dictated by the seasons.
Machinery, trades, and memory
The heart of the festival lies in its historical re-enactments and exhibitions of agricultural machinery, often featuring vintage models that showcase the evolution of farm work. Alongside ancient tractors and tools, demonstrations and educational sessions introduce younger generations to a heritage of knowledge at risk of being lost.
The flavours of tradition
The food stands offer typical dishes from Brescian peasant cuisine, from hearty, traditional recipes to local products. It's a time when memory becomes conviviality, gathered around tables that draw families and visitors from neighbouring towns.
A festival for all ages
The Sagra del Contadino is not just about nostalgia; the programme includes shows, entertainment, and activities designed for all ages, making the event a true community celebration. Reaching its twentieth edition in 2026, it reaffirms Mairano's deep connection with its rural identity.
