Fiera di San Luca (Saint Luke Autumn Fair)

The Fiera di San Luca returns for its 38th edition in the village of Parrocchia di Vallarsa, celebrating the age-old tradition that marks the end of the mountain pasture season and the arrival of autumn and winter. The event brings together the local community, welcoming livestock breeders, agricultural producers, artisans, and cultural associations. The festival program features an array of engaging activities, including workshops for adults and children on dry stone wall building and wild herbs, the traditional timber auction with the 'virgin candle', and a choral performance by the Coro Pasubio. There will also be plenty of convivial moments, such as aperitifs hosted by the Giovani di Vallarsa and afternoon snacks with roasted chestnuts and mulled wine courtesy of the SAT. On Sunday, following Holy Mass at the Archpriestal Church of San Vigilio, the celebration continues with the livestock blessing ceremony, a traditional peasant parade featuring costumed folk groups, and a customary toast with Bianco di San Luca wine.
