About Sant'Elena Fair
The patron saint's fair
The Sant'Elena Fair is the traditional fair of San Giuliano di Puglia, in lower Molise in the province of Campobasso. It takes place on May 22nd, coinciding with the patronal feast of Saint Helena the Empress, and combines religious rites with a market and social gathering.
Stalls and community
For the occasion, the town center fills with stalls and commercial operators, in an event that attracts not only the residents of San Giuliano but also those from neighboring towns. The fair has always been a moment of social interaction and reunion, linked to the cycle of the village's spring festivals.
Between commerce and devotion
The fair is part of the Saint Helena feast calendar: the statue of the saint, carried in procession on May 1st, is returned to her chapel on May 22nd, the day the fair is held. Commerce and devotion thus intertwine on a single day that tells the story of the Molise community's identity.
