Saint Lawrence Fair

Gussola and its summer fair

The Saint Lawrence Fair is the most important summer event in Gussola, in the province of Cremona, a village on the Po River in the heart of Oglio Po, the land of two rivers between Cremona and Mantua. This traditional village festival attracts residents and visitors every year for several evenings of music, flavour, and fun.

Evenings of music and fun

The event takes place at the Vainer Lombardi Municipal Park, which for a few days becomes the centre of Gussola's life. Every evening, a bar and food service is available with local specialities, while the programme features concerts, shows, and attractions. There are also rides and activities for children, in a festive atmosphere that involves all generations.

A community festival

The Saint Lawrence Fair is promoted by the Municipality of Gussola in collaboration with the association Auser Insieme Gussola and with the support of numerous volunteers. It is precisely this community and participatory dimension that makes it such a cherished event: the festival is a time when the town comes together, strengthens its bonds, and celebrates summer together.

In the Oglio Po territory

Gussola is part of the Visit Oglio Po circuit, the itinerary that promotes the villages and traditions of the territory between the Oglio and Po rivers, encompassing municipalities in the provinces of Cremona and Mantua. In this context, the Saint Lawrence Fair is one of the flagship events, capable of blending flavour, music, and local identity along the banks of the great river.
