The Fiera dei Cubiot in Santo Stefano Belbo

The appointment with the traditional Cubiot Fair of Santo Stefano Belbo is renewed. The event will take place throughout the day of Sunday, December 2, 2018. Throughout the day the historic fair will bring in the streets and squares of our City stalls, a typical market, ancient flavors, exhibition of agricultural machinery, food and wine stands. From 12 the Pro Loco di Santo Stefano Belbo will distribute ribs and chickpeas. In addition, between the counters and the streets you can cheer with the nice figure of Bacialè, the character of the Langhe tradition that was used to stock up on coats thanks to his ability to mediate love among young people in the area. "For our administration, attention to our traditions has always been a priority - explains the mayor Luigi Genesio Icardi. The identity of a territory is always to be found in the history of that particular area but above all in the history that is made by people. Country festivals, anniversaries, mythical figures such as Bacialè and in general folklore are the identity cards of every small community. Protecting and re-proposing these traditions means rediscovering something that distinguishes us profoundly but above all, in an era of great individualism, trying to stimulate that aggregation and that sense of belonging that, once very strong, felt and shared, today is increasingly faded>. The Fiera dei Cubiot is the revival of an ancient traditional fair that took place at the beginning of December, and more precisely on the 6th. The Fiera dei Cubiot is organized by the municipality of Santo Stefano Belbo in collaboration with the Proloco.
