The Fiera di San Bartolomeo returns to Carpenedolo for its 55th edition, transforming the historic town centre into a lively stage of celebration and tradition. From August 21-24, 2026, the renowned Sagra del Malfatto will welcome visitors from across the region for four days filled with entertainment, music, and authentic local cuisine. The programme promises something for everyone: live performances, folk dances, traditional and contemporary music concerts will animate the village streets every evening. At dedicated food venues, you can taste the typical dishes of the Brescia region, with Malfatto as the star attraction—a hearty dish of vegetables and cheese that represents genuine local cooking. Crafts exhibitions, artisan displays, and activities for children will enhance an experience already established by time. An unmissable appointment for anyone who loves Italian food festivals, local traditions, and the pleasure of sharing time with friends and family. Mark the dates on your calendar: we look forward to welcoming you to Carpenedolo to celebrate together a festival that unites community, culture, and gastronomy.
