If there is one summer event that truly captures a carefree atmosphere, it is undoubtedly the San Bartolomeo Fair. This year, from August 24 to 26, the Fano coastline will be transformed into a large open-air stage where crafts, local flavors and entertainment come together just a few steps from the waves. It is one of those events you simply cannot miss if you want to experience the most authentic soul of our city! But how did this famous event begin, and why does it attract so many visitors of all ages every summer? Let’s discover its origins and how to make the most of it.
The San Bartolomeo Fair is one of Fano’s oldest traditions, with roots dating all the way back to the 15th century. The first official document confirming its existence is a proclamation dated April 8, 1457, when the city was under the rule of the famous Malatesta family. Originally created as a major commercial and agricultural event, the fair has maintained a strong connection with the local area over the centuries.
Historically, it was also known as the “garlic and onion fair”: in the 16th century, the sale of onions was even reserved exclusively for this event! Today, this curious tradition still lives on thanks to local farmers, joined by hundreds of exhibitors who bring color and liveliness to Fano’s seafront.
During the three days of the fair, from August 24 to 26, the seaside area between Sassonia beach and the Lido becomes a long festive promenade filled with entertainment and curiosities. Along the route you can find a little bit of everything: artistic crafts, Marche food and wine products, street food, household items and games.
There are also attractions designed for both adults and children, including local craft markets and the traditional “Children and Teenagers’ Market”, where younger visitors can have fun exchanging toys, comics and handmade creations. Walking at sunset among inviting aromas, illuminated stalls and the Adriatic breeze is an experience not to be missed!
The last days of August offer Fano wonderful weather: the intense summer heat gives way to pleasant days and cooler evenings, ideal for spending time outdoors. The city enjoys a particularly lively atmosphere, where the holiday spirit blends with a rich program of cultural and popular events.
In addition to the fair, the final week of August is the perfect time to explore the city’s heritage: from the majestic Arch of Augustus to the ancient Roman walls and the historic center with its charming streets. And of course, you can still enjoy refreshing swims and relaxing moments on the beach, taking advantage of the sea when it is calmer.
To fully enjoy the magic of the San Bartolomeo Fair and everything Fano has to offer, the best choice is to treat yourself to a stay in a convenient and welcoming location. Booking at Hotel CasaDei allows you to forget about the car and enjoy the sea and the city in complete comfort!
