About Saint John's Fair
The June 24th Fair
The Saint John the Baptist Fair is one of the traditional market fairs of Gubbio and is held on June 24th, the feast day of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist. The saint is one of the three co-patrons of the city, along with Saint Ubaldo and the Immaculate Conception.
The Ceramic Bells
The most characteristic element of the fair is the typical ceramic bells, objects of the traditional Gubbio craftsmanship that are put up for sale in Piazza Quaranta Martiri. Alongside this specialty, the stalls offer goods of all kinds, from clothing to crafts to typical local products.
A Day of Celebration
The fair, organized by the Municipality of Gubbio with the assignment of stalls through a public tender, enlivens the historic center for the entire day. It is a traditional event that attracts locals and visitors, intertwining the commercial aspect with the popular celebration linked to the saint, in the heart of Umbria, in the province of Perugia.
