About Saint George's Fair
Saint George, Patron Saint of Scapoli
Scapoli (province of Isernia), a village in the upper Volturno valley, famous as the capital of the bagpipe, venerates Saint George the Martyr as its patron saint. His liturgical feast day falls on April 23rd and is accompanied by the traditional Saint George's Fair.
An Annual Tradition
The fair on April 23rd is a well-established custom in Scapoli's calendar, linked to the figure of the patron saint whose statue is kept in the village and is the object of particular devotion. Although the major popular celebrations are concentrated in August, the day of the liturgical feast keeps the tradition alive with the fair and moments of religious celebration.
The Village of the Bagpipe
The Saint George's celebration is part of the rich calendar of festivals and fairs that mark the year in Scapoli, a municipality in the upper Volturno valley that preserves the ancient art of the bagpipe and a strong traditional identity of inland Molise.
