The summer fair of Civitanova del Sannio
In Civitanova del Sannio (IS), among the popular calendar events is the Saint Anthony's Fair, held on the second Sunday of July. It is one of the summer events in the village of Alto Molise.
Like other village fairs, Saint Anthony's Fair is a moment for meeting, exchange, and socialising: a custom that has marked the life of the inland villages of Molise for centuries, where the fair intertwines with popular devotion and community conviviality.
The Saint Anthony's Fair is part of Civitanova del Sannio's summer season, a period when the village becomes lively again thanks to the return of many emigrants. It is an opportunity to rediscover the traditions and identity of this village in the province of Isernia, in one of the most authentic areas of Alto Molise.
In 2026, Civitanova del Sannio will again renew the Saint Anthony's Fair on the second Sunday of July, July 12. The traditional fair will liven up the streets of the Alto Molise village, blending religious devotion, commerce, and conviviality.
Detailed program to be announced by the parish and the Municipality in the preceding days.
