Fiera di Maggio a Schiavonea

The Fiera di Maggio in Schiavonea returns in May 2026 with its traditional charm, transforming the waterfront into a vibrant marketplace where history and contemporary culture meet. This centuries-old event is much more than a simple commercial fair: it's an opportunity to celebrate local identity, authentic craftsmanship, and the community spirit that animates this small Calabrian town. Every year, hundreds of exhibitors and thousands of visitors gather to rediscover the value of authenticity and tradition, with an average of 8,000-10,000 annual visitors.

On May 2 and 3, Schiavonea's waterfront fills with stalls dedicated to local crafts, typical products, and creations by small entrepreneurs who keep Calabrian traditions alive. The fair offers the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in the authentic atmosphere of the Citrus Riviera, savoring the passion and dedication of those who preserve ancient crafts and knowledge passed down through generations.

Event Schedule: from morning, exhibitor registration and booth setup (8:00 AM-10:00 AM), fair opening to the public (10:00 AM-8:00 PM Saturday, 10:00 AM-7:00 PM Sunday), with live musical entertainment in the afternoons, tastings of typical Calabrian products, and demonstration workshops of traditional craftsmanship.

Participating in the Fiera di Maggio means contributing to the continuity of a tradition that resists the passage of time, supporting the local economy and discovering the most authentic face of Calabria's tourism and commerce.
