About Somaggia Fair

Every autumn, the hamlet of Somaggia, in Samolaco, hosts its traditional fair: a day that brings together livestock exhibitions, typical products from Valchiavenna, and local crafts along the village streets. It is one of the most deeply rooted events in the lower valley, an occasion for the community to come together and for visitors to discover the flavours and trades of the area in an authentic rural setting, between the Mera plain and the mountains surrounding Lake Mezzola.

A fair that tells the story of the Mera plain

The Somaggia Fair is one of the most cherished events in the Municipality of Samolaco, in the province of Sondrio, at the entrance to Valchiavenna. It takes place in the hamlet of Somaggia, on the plain crossed by the Mera river, where the agricultural and livestock tradition of the lower valley finds a showcase every year.

What to expect

The fair combines the rural soul with the village festival spirit: livestock exhibition and market, stalls of typical and gastronomic products, craft stands, and activities along Via Don Giuseppe Cornaggia and the Campo Fiera area. It is a day designed for families and the curious, where you can stroll among the stalls and taste local specialties.

A territory to discover

Samolaco is strategically located between Lake Mezzola and the entrance to Valchiavenna, in a landscape of meadows, vineyards, and ancient rural settlements. The fair is an excellent opportunity to combine a visit to the event with the discovery of the surrounding territory, amidst the nature and traditions of the Alpine Lombardy.
