Since 1420, the fair that unites agriculture, craftsmanship, and the traditions of the Tuscia region
The roots of Tuscania Fair go back to 1420: since then, the Tuscania fair has been a reference point for the agricultural, commercial, and productive world of Tuscia. Organized by the Municipality of Tuscania, in the province of Viterbo, in the heart of the Etruscan Lazio, the event renews itself every May, transforming the village into a large exhibition route filled with flavors, trades, and entertainment for all ages.
The fair route winds through Viale Trieste, Piazza Italia, and Via Roma, featuring over 150 exhibitors: stalls, food and wine stands, artistic crafts, agricultural displays, and family activities. The historic heart of the fair is the area dedicated to agricultural vehicles and machinery, showcasing leading industry brands and the latest generation of tractorsโa sector the municipal administration has chosen to invest organizational and economic resources in. Starting from the 2026 edition, a thematic space dedicated to craftsmanship has been added, designed to showcase local production and regional expertise.
Beyond its commercial and agricultural dimensions, Tuscania Fair is also a lively street festival: along the village streets, you will find street artists, magic shows, circus performances, and fire-eaters, as well as children's entertainment with face painting and creative workshops, plus evening concerts, marching band performances, and dance nights. The Parco Torre di Lavello viewpoint, with its amphitheater, provides the perfect backdrop for several cultural events.
The fair is also an opportunity to discover one of the most fascinating villages in Lazio: during the three days, guided tours of the historic center are offered, including churches, palaces, and fountains, as well as the Archaeological Museum and the Etruscan necropolises surrounding the city, such as Pian di Mola. A blend of history and tradition that makes the event an immersive experience within the village walls.
A major gastronomic highlight is the Tuscania fried pizza, both sweet and savory, a typical specialty to be enjoyed in all its variations along the town streets, alongside stands featuring typical products from the Viterbo Tuscia region. The Tuscania in Tavola review completes the offering with tastings and proposals from local restaurateurs.
Free and spread throughout the historic center, Tuscania Fair is now one of the most anticipated trade events in the regional May calendar: a festival that combines rural economy, culture, folklore, and conviviality, preserving a collective ritual that has been passed down for over six centuries in the province of Viterbo.
From May 8 to 10, 2026, the Municipality of Tuscania renewed its historic fair, which dates back to 1420. The 2026 edition focused on enhancing the exhibition area dedicated to agricultural vehicles and equipment, featuring leading industry brands and the latest generation of tractors, and inaugurated a new thematic space dedicated to craftsmanship to showcase local production. Three days of continuous entertainment along the fair route between Viale Trieste, Piazza Italia, and Via Roma, with over 150 exhibitors, street artists, guided tours, and live music, all with free admission.
Tuscania is located in the province of Viterbo, in northern Lazio, and can be reached by car via the ViterboโTuscania highway (SP Vetrallese) or from the SS1 Aurelia by exiting at Tarquinia. The nearest train stations are Viterbo and Tarquinia, which are connected to Tuscania by regional Cotral buses.
Admission to the fair is free. Stands open in the morning (around 10:00 AM) and entertainment continues until evening along Viale Trieste, Piazza Italia, and Via Roma. Guided tours of the historic center and the necropolises are by reservation and require a contribution.
The historic center is closed to traffic during the event: it is advisable to park in the areas outside the walls and continue on foot. Information: Tuscania Tourist Office ([email protected]).
