The Fiera della Nocciola in Castagnole delle Lanze marks its 167th edition on Monday, August 31, 2026. This historic Piedmontese event is entirely dedicated to celebrating the 'Queen Hazelnut', a local excellence, and honors the invaluable agricultural work across the hills of the Asti region. The morning's main activities take place in the heart of the village, between Piazza San Bartolomeo and the primary school courtyard. The rich schedule begins at 9:30 AM with the opening of the food and wine market stalls alongside agricultural machinery displays. Comedy entertainment by Gianluca Impastato follows at 10:30 AM, leading up to the official ceremony at 11:30 AM featuring the Quality Contest awards (Marchisio Hazelnut Prize), Quantity Contest awards, and the traditional fixing of the official 2026 hazelnut price. From 12:30 PM onward, the festival delivers a grand finale of conviviality and authentic local flavors. Visitors can join the Hazelnut Aperitif followed by the traditional Fair Lunch, an unmissable chance to savor regional gastronomic traditions in a festive atmosphere.
