The traditional Ferragosto fair in Cantù
In Cantù, a city in Brianza in the province of Como, August 15th is not just Ferragosto: it is also the day of the San Rocco Fair, one of the traditional fairs that the Municipality officially recognizes and codes among its historic events, along with the Sant'Apollonia Fair and the Crocifisso Fair.
For one day, the streets of the center are filled with stalls and exhibitors, offering a varied range of products and traditional food and drink stands. It is the classic mid-August village fair: an opportunity to stroll, browse among the stalls, and meet up in the city, at a time of year when many return to breathe the atmosphere of the historic center.
The San Rocco Fair is included in the public area trading regulations of the Municipality of Cantù: the allocation of pitches takes place every year through an official tender, confirming the institutional and traditional value of this event. A guarantee of continuity for a fair that, year after year, marks the Cantù summer on Ferragosto and keeps alive a custom rooted in the city's commercial history.
On Saturday, August 15, 2026, on Ferragosto, Cantù renews the San Rocco Fair. The streets of the center welcome numerous exhibitors for a day of traditional fair, part of the Municipality's historic fairs calendar.
