The Game of the Goose

Every year at the beginning of November, the Goose Fair livens up the town of Mirano.

“During St. Martin’s weekend, the city for two days take a step back in time to the beginning of the 20th century and sees the hostorical centre transformed into a town’s fair at a Belle èpoque square,” says Roberto Gallorini, CEO of the organisation that plans the event.

“Everything contemporary disappears in order to make room for old times characters such as the paperboy and his newspapers, street vendors with unique bres, the craftsman making straw chairs and games and costumed individuals selling everything from food to tools as long as it’s made of or has the shape of a goose. Actors and extras bring the streets of the city back to life, while the square is transformed into a mansize board game, with 63 smaller squares and giant dice and pieces thanks to which participants will prove their wit and abilities. An important role is played by local cuisine as the town’s best restaurants engage in a friendly unofficial contest to present traditional goose dishes.
