About Saint Anthony Fair

On June 14th, Santo Stefano d'Aveto comes alive with the traditional Saint Anthony of Padua Fair, one of the events that opens the summer season in the Apennine village. Between Piazza Livellara and the central streets, stalls and stands offer a wide variety of goods, in a day of celebration that attracts residents and holidaymakers from the upper Aveto Valley, in the Province of Genoa.

A Traditional Fair in the Mountains

The Saint Anthony of Padua Fair is one of the traditional events in Santo Stefano d'Aveto, a village in the Apennines in the Province of Genoa. Linked to the figure of the saint, much loved by popular devotion, the fair marks the beginning of the summer season in the town and its hamlets.

Stalls and Goods in Piazza Livellara

The event is concentrated in Piazza Livellara and along the central streets of the village, where the stalls of a rich and varied fair are set up: typical products, clothing, crafts, and merchandise of all kinds. It is an opportunity for a stroll among the stalls and to experience the atmosphere of a traditional mountain village fair.

A Village to Discover

The fair is also a good excuse to discover Santo Stefano d'Aveto, a summer and winter holiday destination, dominated by Monte Maggiorasca and famous for its sanctuary dedicated to Our Lady of Guadalupe. A day that combines the pleasure of open-air commerce with the charm of the Ligurian Apennine landscapes.
