San Faustino Fair - Patronal Feast

The Patron Saints' Fair of Sarezzo

In Sarezzo, in the province of Brescia and the heart of Valle Trompia, the San Faustino Fair is the most anticipated event of the winter. Dedicated to the patron saints Faustino and Giovita, it is a tradition that has enlivened the town for generations, transforming Piazza Cesare Battisti and the town centre streets into a large space for festivities, markets, and amusement rides.

Stalls, Rides, and Amusement Rides

The fair brings over 130 stalls and about fifty amusement rides to the town centre, spread across Piazza Cesare Battisti, via Roma, via Bailo, via Zanardelli, and other streets. The rides start operating on Friday afternoon, after safety checks, while the arrival of the stalls over the weekend officially kicks off the festivities. It is an event for all ages, offering shopping, fun, and tradition.

Children's Day and Cultural Events

Among the most beloved moments is the traditional Children's Day, on the last day of the fair, when the town's children can ride the attractions for free. The week of the fair is also enriched by the cultural review "Il resto è fiera" (The rest is fair), with a packed schedule of concerts, talks, shows, exhibitions, and workshops that accompany the celebrations.

A Valle Trompia Tradition

The San Faustino Fair is more than just a market: it is the moment when the entire community of Sarezzo comes together around its roots. For those visiting Valle Trompia in winter, it is an opportunity to discover an authentic popular festival in the heart of the Bresciano area.
