About Settembre Colognese

For over 130 years, at the beginning of September, Cologna Veneta experiences its most important event: the Settembre Colognese, with the historic Agricultural, Artisanal, and Commercial Fair. Agricultural machinery, typical products, a food stand in Piazza Duomo, shows, concerts, sports and cultural activities, and a funfair animate the center of the town in the Bassa Veronese region for days, in one of the longest-running fairs in the area.

One of the Oldest Fairs in the Veronese Area

The Settembre Colognese is the major event at the beginning of September in Cologna Veneta, a town in the lower plain in the province of Verona. Its heart is the ancient and traditional Agricultural, Artisanal, and Commercial Fair, now in its 125th edition, one of the longest-running in the Veronese territory and a reflection of the agricultural vocation of this part of the plain.

Between Fields, Crafts, and Commerce

The fair showcases agricultural machinery and equipment, commercial vehicles, typical local products, goods, and open shops. It is an event that combines peasant tradition with the modern dimension of commerce and craftsmanship, attracting visitors and exhibitors from all over the Bassa Veronese.

Gastronomy, Shows, and Funfair

Alongside the fair, the Settembre Colognese offers a gastronomic area in Piazza Duomo with regional specialties, itinerant and stage shows, concerts, sports, recreational, and cultural activities, guided tours, exhibitions, a charity raffle, and the funfair. A rich program that transforms the historic center into a large festival space for several days.

The Identity of Cologna Veneta

Organized by the Pro Loco of Cologna Veneta, the Settembre Colognese is more than just a fair: it is the moment when the community recognizes itself in its history and traditions, and when the municipality of the Bassa Veronese tells its story to the entire region.
