Spring Fair and RiVeg

A spring tradition in the heart of Rivalta

The Spring Fair is one of the most beloved and long-standing events on the calendar of Rivalta di Torino, a town in the Turin metropolitan area of Piedmont. For decades, as the warm season arrives, the streets and squares of the historic center fill with stalls, colors, and scents for a grand commercial and craft market that attracts visitors from across the southern belt of Turin.

The 2026 edition marks the 39th year of the fair and introduces an important new feature: the arrival of RiVeg, the first Rivalta festival dedicated entirely to plant-based nutrition, which runs alongside the traditional exhibition on the same day.

What to expect at the fair

The day offers a rich program spread throughout the center. Among the usual offerings of the Spring Fair, you will find:

• over a hundred stalls featuring commercial exhibitors, artisans, and hobbyists, with various goods, crafts, and food and wine products;
• street food areas with traditional dishes and specialties from around the world;
• nursery and floral displays and a highly regarded bonsai exhibition;
• photography and art exhibitions by local artists;
• the Children's Village with games, creative workshops, and entertainment;
• dance performances, puppet shows, juggling, folk dancing, and live music;
• a touch tennis tournament and chess and bridge tournaments;
• public access to the Fire Department barracks.

RiVeg, the festival dedicated to plant-based nutrition

The big news is RiVeg, conceived by the Montessoricordi association with the idea of bringing plant-based cuisine out of specialized circles and into a popular context accessible to everyone. The festival features food stalls with local plant-based dishes, tastings, live cooking shows, meetings with health professionals, and insights into sustainability and responsible supply chains. An occasion designed not only for those who already follow a vegan diet but for families, the curious, and food enthusiasts.

Between history and culture

The fair is also an opportunity to discover the heritage of Rivalta: during the day, guided tours of the Castello degli Orsini and Casa Camosso are scheduled, curated by the Rivalta Millenaria association, which tell the thousand-year history of the village. The event is organized by the Municipality of Rivalta di Torino together with the Consorzio Procom and numerous local associations, from the Pro Loco to the Famiglia Rivaltese.
