St. Bear Fair

St. Bear's Fair is lost in the mists of time; it is said that around the year one thousand, the Saint, in the area of the present church, distributed clothing and wooden clogs (sabots) to the poor. Much time has passed since then, and the Fair has turned into a much-loved event in Aosta and throughout the region, attracting artisans of wood, iron, stone, sculptors, and many many artists with their creations of glass, ceramics, lace and textiles and original objects. For the duration of the event, there will be food stands and live music, and folk groups and traditional music will also enliven the two days. Fun fact...every year a souvenir pendant of the Fair is made, always different!
