Twenty years of rural traditions in the Bassa bresciana
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.
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 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.
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.
The twentieth edition of the Sagra del Contadino will be held in Mairano from September 18th to 20th, 2026. Three days dedicated to the rural traditions of the Bassa bresciana, with historical re-enactments, exhibitions of agricultural machinery, food stands with traditional peasant dishes, and activities for all ages.
The programme for the 20th edition is under development and will be published by the organisation in the weeks preceding the event. As per established tradition, the festival will feature:
