The great August fair through the streets of the Modena Apennines
The Serramazzoni Annual Fair is one of the most cherished events of the summer in the Modena Apennines. Every year, in mid-August, the center of the Municipality of Serramazzoni, in the Province of Modena (Emilia-Romagna), comes alive with a large market that attracts visitors from all over the mountain area and the plains. For two days, the main streets of the town become a continuous path of stalls, scents, and colors.
The heart of the event is the extraordinary market, with over 145 stalls distributed along Via Val di Sasso and its side streets, Piazza della Repubblica, Piazza Tasso, Viale Belvedere, and Largo Olimpico. The offer is wide and covers all product categories:
In addition to shopping, the Fair is a true village festival: there are no shortage of food stands where you can taste traditional flavors and entertainment for the little ones. In past editions, the funfair with rides, set up near Largo Olimpico, and itinerant shows accompanied the two days, making the event suitable for families and children.
