Lamporecchio’s Fair – Brigidino Festival from July 27th to August 2nd
The 2017 Lamporecchio’s Fair edition presents lots of news. For the first time it is supported by Regione Toscana and it originates from the cooperation between Municipality and Lamporecchio’s shop-keepers association who have created a rich programme with a preview of some side events and the summer concert by Banda Comunale Giacomo Puccini.
Tuesday August 1st and Wednesday 2nd, called “Fierino”, will be the highlights when every corner of the village will become animated by events of any kind for families and youngsters. There are lots of new entries: for the first time in Lamporecchio, street food trucks are coming and in via Vitoni a craft and antiques market will be set up. And then Miss Italia competition selections, comic shows, street artists and street bands. A stage will be dedicated to youngsters with the “Summer Night” djsets while in piazza Berni every evening a Baby Village is open to children and in piazza Salvo D’Acquisto the unmissable Luna Park. But the main protagonist is the brigidino, Lamporecchio’s famous sweet, which will be distributed to people along the streets on Tuesday evening, together with music and Viareggio’s Carnival masks.
Here is the complete programme.
