Saints Peter and Paul Fair

The patron saint's fair in Alta Valle Camonica

The Saints Peter and Paul Fair is the patronal fair of Ponte di Legno, a famous mountain resort in Alta Valle Camonica, in the province of Brescia. Dedicated to the patrons Peter and Paul, it takes place at the end of June and represents one of the traditional events of the village's summer calendar, at the foot of the Adamello massif and the Tonale Pass.

Stalls in the historic center

For the occasion, the historic center of Ponte di Legno is filled with stalls and market stands, with its epicenter in Piazzale Cida and the surrounding streets. Artisanal products, typical specialties, clothing, and curiosities transform the village into a large open-air market, in a festive atmosphere that attracts residents, holidaymakers, and tourists.

Between tradition and alpine tourism

Ponte di Legno is one of the best-known tourist destinations in the Lombard Alps, popular in all seasons. The Saints Peter and Paul Fair adds to this tourist appeal a more authentic and traditional face, linked to the history and devotion of the village. It is an opportunity for summer visitors to experience the village not only as a mountain resort but also in its community dimension.

An annual event

Organized by the Pro Loco of Ponte di Legno, the fair is a recurring event that marks the beginning of summer in Alta Valle Camonica. For those staying in the area or passing through towards the Tonale Pass and the Adamello, it is a pleasant opportunity to discover the village's atmosphere and its products, in the heart of the mountains of the province of Brescia.
