About Migliarino Fair

Every early September, Migliarino, a hamlet of the Municipality of Fiscaglia in the province of Ferrara, comes alive with its Ancient September Fair, one of the longest-running village festivals in the Lower Ferrara region. Born in the post-war period, for five days it transforms Piazza della Repubblica and the town center streets into a large festive space: stalls, amusement park, street food in the dock, musical performances, exhibitions, book presentations, and the famous tombola (bingo) with rich prizes. An event cherished by the community, capable of attracting tens of thousands of visitors from all over the Ferrara plain.

A tradition spanning decades

The September Fair, known by everyone as the Ancient Fair of Migliarino, is the identity event of Migliarino, a populous hamlet of the Municipality of Fiscaglia, in the province of Ferrara, in the heart of Emilia-Romagna. Its origins date back to the post-war period: from edition to edition, the fair has spanned over seventy years of local history, becoming a fixture on the calendar of the Lower Ferrara region. In 2025, the 77th edition was celebrated, confirming a rare continuity for a village festival.

Five days of celebration for the whole town

For five days, from afternoon until late evening, Piazza della Repubblica and the town center streets — via Roma, via Mazzanti, via Gramsci — fill with stalls, exhibitors, and people of all ages. The fair is organized by the Pro Loco Migliarino in collaboration with the Municipality of Fiscaglia and with the support of dozens of local sponsors and associations, and is structured into numerous thematic points of interest distributed among the squares, parks, and the characteristic town dock.

What to experience at the fair

  • Amusement park open every evening, always a big draw for families and young people;
  • Street food and youth area at the dock, with Pro Loco catering, beer, aperitifs, and live music;
  • Tombola (bingo) with rich prizes, the real highlight of the evenings, awaited by the entire community;
  • Exhibitions set up in historic locations of the town such as the Trot Museum, the primary school, and the parish church of Santa Croce;
  • Book presentations, creative workshops for children, and sports initiatives with local associations (canoeing, sport fishing, martial arts).

The flavor of the Lower Ferrara region

The Migliarino Fair is also an opportunity to discover the gastronomy and traditions of this corner of the Ferrara plain, where the Po di Volano river and the reclaimed lands tell a story made of water, agriculture, and community. Among the recurring themes of recent editions, there was also the truffle from the Ferrara lands, the protagonist of debates and search competitions. More than just a commercial fair, it is a popular festival that renews the bond of the inhabitants with their town every year.
