The Ancient Fair of Sommacampagna is a large traditional festival of the Veronese inland area near Lake Garda: five days of events in the town squares with amusement rides, concerts, food and wine stands, sports tournaments, exhibitions, and the opening with the bell concert.
The 2026 edition confirms the tradition of the great village festival of Sommacampagna. The traditional formula includes the opening with the bell concert in the church of San Rocco, the amusement park in Piazza della Repubblica, the food and wine stands of the Sommaviva Committee, sports tournaments, exhibitions and excursions on foot, by bike, and horseback.
