Sant'Andrea Fair (Ul Ferôn dé Ugiôn)
The historic agricultural fair of Oggiono, established in 1614
About Oggiono Big Fair
A Centuries-Old Fair
The Sant'Andrea Fair in Oggiono, in the province of Lecco, is one of the oldest events in the area: known in dialect as Ul Ferôn dé Ugiôn (the Big Fair), it was established in 1614 by edict of the Spanish governor Philip III. Over four centuries of history make it one of the longest-running fairs in Italy and, still today, one of the main livestock fairs in Lombardy.
Between Livestock, Agricultural Machinery, and Stalls
For days, Oggiono transforms: hundreds of stalls line Viale Vittoria, while the exhibition of livestock and agricultural machinery attracts breeders and curious visitors from all over Brianza. The fair remains firmly rooted in its rural vocation, with farm animals, horses, and donkeys among the most popular attractions, in an event that celebrates the ancient bond between the town and the agricultural world.
The Volunteers' Tripe
The culinary heart of the event is the tripe, prepared in large quantities by volunteers according to the traditional recipe: a symbolic dish that has accompanied the Big Fair for generations. Together with the food stands and side events, it makes the Sant'Andrea Fair much more than a market: a community celebration that attracts thousands of visitors to Oggiono every autumn.
Oggiono Big Fair — edition 2026
