San Felice Fair - Livestock Exhibition Market
The transhumance fair in the highest municipality of Umbria
About San Felice Fair
A fair with a long history
The San Felice Fair, also known as the transhumance fair, is an ancient livestock and goods fair that renews a centuries-old tradition in Monteleone di Spoleto. Once, in the fields in front of the village, a large market for livestock and local produce was held, where animals and goods were bartered: today, the fair keeps its memory alive, promoting the link with sheep farming and transhumance.
Livestock, cereals, and mountain products
The livestock and cereal exhibition market is the heart of the event, accompanied by the presentation of the area's Slow Food presidia (such as Ricotta Salata della Valnerina and Fagiolo secondo del Piano di Orvieto) and the renowned DOP Farro of Monteleone, the only cereal with DOP certification in Europe. There are also tastings of local products, honey, and cheeses from the Valnerina.
Equestrian shows and mountain festival
The program includes equestrian shows and activities, with pony and mule experiences, saddle baptisms, carriage rides, and horseback riding for children, adults, and people with disabilities. Completing the festivities are excursions, trekking, mountain biking, and concerts, in a unique mountain setting in the highest municipality of Umbria, in the province of Perugia.
