About The Theatre Fairs

Le Fiere del Teatro transforms Sarmede, the "Land of Fairy Tales" in the province of Treviso, into a large open-air stage. For several days, the streets and squares of the village come alive with international street artists: circus performers, clowns, magicians, puppeteers, dancers, and itinerant bands. With creative workshops, animated readings, and shows designed for children and families, the festival is a celebration of art, culture, and magic suitable for all ages.

Sarmede, where fairy tales come to life

Known as the "Land of Fairy Tales", Sarmede (province of Treviso) hosts Le Fiere del Teatro every year, an international festival dedicated to street artists. The streets and squares of the hilly village are transformed into stages for itinerant performances, in keeping with the town's cultural vocation, also famous for the "Le Immagini della Fantasia" illustration exhibition.

Street artists from all over the world

The program brings together contemporary circus companies, clowns, magicians, puppeteers, dancers, and itinerant bands, who liven up the days with free and surprise performances along the streets of the center. The street art format makes the shows accessible and engaging, capable of surprising both adults and children around every corner.

A celebration for children and families

The heart of the festival is children and their families: alongside the shows, creative workshops, animated readings, and manual activities are offered. The magical atmosphere of Sarmede, with its frescoed houses and hilly landscape, provides the ideal setting for an event that combines fun and culture.

The return after the break

After the pause in the 2025 edition, Le Fiere del Teatro return to relaunch a tradition beloved by the Treviso area, bringing art, culture, and magic back to the Land of Fairy Tales.
