About Sant'Ubaldo Fair
The Patron Saint's Fair
The Sant'Ubaldo Fair is one of the historic market fairs of Gubbio, linked to the worship of Saint Ubaldo, the city's patron saint and also the protagonist of the famous Festa dei Ceri. The fair takes place during the patronal feast period and transforms the historic centre into a large open-air market.
Hundreds of Stalls
Over 250 stalls are set up along the streets and squares of the village, with pitches assigned annually by the Municipality through a specific tender. Alongside public area traders, there is space for agricultural producers, disadvantaged individuals, and fair trade associations, in a market offering all kinds of goods from early morning until evening.
Tradition and Community
More than just a commercial occasion, the fair is a moment of popular celebration deeply rooted in the life of Gubbio, in the province of Perugia. The day attracts residents and visitors from nearby towns, blending the dimension of the market with that of devotion to the patron saint.
