About Saint Martin's Fair

On November 11th, Castel San Vincenzo, a village in Alto Molise overlooking the lake and a stone's throw from the Abbey of San Vincenzo al Volturno, celebrates the traditional Saint Martin's Fair. A day of stalls, typical products, and autumn peasant traditions, an occasion to taste lamb and goat roasts and local cheeses in an authentic corner of the province of Isernia.

An Autumn Fair in Alto Molise

The Saint Martin's Fair is the traditional fair of Castel San Vincenzo, a small municipality in the province of Isernia nestled in the green of Alto Molise, at the foot of the Mainarde mountains and near the famous Abbey of San Vincenzo al Volturno. It is celebrated every year on November 11th, Saint Martin's Day, following a calendar of fairs and anniversaries that has marked the life of the village for centuries.

Flavors and Peasant Traditions

The fair maintains the character of the ancient autumn fairs of Molise: stalls, local produce, crafts, and the opportunity to taste local specialties, from lamb and goat roasts to typical local cheeses. It is one of the many events that liven up Castel San Vincenzo, a town known for its religious celebrations and popular and folkloric events.

Castel San Vincenzo and its Territory

Visiting the Saint Martin's Fair is also an opportunity to discover a territory of great naturalistic and historical value, including the lake of Castel San Vincenzo, the National Park of Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise, and the Benedictine Abbey of San Vincenzo al Volturno.
