This year, from July 31 to August 4, one of the most engaging events of the Eastern Veneto territory returns to Concordia Sagittaria (VE): the National Agriculture Fair, also known as the Santo Stefano Fair, a historical event dedicated to agriculture, craftsmanship, and local traditions.
This Fair, whose origins date back at least to the 1700s and even earlier to the roots of ancient Julia Concordia, has grown over time to become one of the main National Fairs of the agricultural sector, with over 60,000 visitors, more than 150 exhibitors, and an exhibition area of about 40,000 sqm.
Over the course of several days, the event offers a rich program of activities that combine tradition, culture, and innovation. Along the Fair avenues, spaces dedicated to agri-food excellence, technical demonstrations in the field, tastings of local products, professional discussions, show cooking, and performances alternate. There are also guided tours related to the history and roots of the territory, musical entertainment, themed evenings, and gastronomic events such as the “Festa dea poenta” and “Calici e Cicchetti” that highlight typical flavors and native productions.
Beyond its agricultural and economic value, the Fair represents a true meeting point for families, enthusiasts, and professionals, a space to discover products, traditions, and innovations, but also to share experiences and stories related to rural life and local communities.
The event is an opportunity to appreciate how the agricultural world is an integral part of the cultural identity of the territory, helping to strengthen the bond between the past and the future.
Participating in the Santo Stefano Fair means experiencing an authentic celebration of discovery and enhancement of the riches of Eastern Veneto, an event that continues to renew itself while firmly maintaining its historical roots.
