Midsummer Fair
In Pietrabbondante, a village in upper Molise in the province of Isernia, the Saint Mary and Saint Roch Fair takes place on August 15th and 16th, combining two anniversaries: the Assumption of Mary (Saint Mary, the 15th) and the feast of Saint Roch (the 16th).
Market and Celebrations
For two days, the town center comes alive with the market and stalls of the fair, while religious celebrations mark the double anniversary. It's Ferragosto time in Pietrabbondante, when the village welcomes back emigrants and the many visitors connected to the town and its Samnite heritage.
Village Fairs
