Mostra Nazionale di San Giuseppe
Casale's big spring trade fair — ten days at the Pala Fiere with 150-plus exhibitors of food, wine, crafts and flowers, plus one of Piedmont's largest travelling funfairs next door in Piazza d'Armi.
Why it's special
It's the city's oldest and largest fair, running since the late 1940s, and it takes over the whole Polo Fieristico: producers' stands, a big restaurant and street-food area, craft breweries, and the Arteinfiera contemporary-art show under the same roof. Free to walk in, and the funfair makes it a proper family day out.

For ten days in March, the Pala Fiere on the edge of Casale fills with the city's oldest fair. The Mostra Nazionale di San Giuseppe has been going since the late 1940s — 2026 is the 77th edition — and it's less a market than a whole day out: more than 150 exhibitors from around Italy under one roof, a big restaurant and street-food hall, craft breweries, and the long-running Arteinfiera art show tucked in among the stands.
The other half of the draw is next door. One of Piedmont's largest travelling funfairs sets up in Piazza d'Armi for the run, so families come for the rides as much as the shopping. Entry to the fair is free, and the layout flips its route on alternating days — locals go more than once. Dates above.
