Sixty exhibitors and two whole days in an eighteenth-century residence in the heart of Venice represent the framework in which, on 12 and 13 September 2026, Holistics and Wellbeing arrives at its third edition. However, it does so with a twist that changes the very nature of the event, because from this year the fair of healthy living and holistic knowledge stops being an annual event and becomes semi-annual. The first chapter took place in spring at Forte Marghera in Mestre, the other will take place, for the first time, in autumn, at Villa Farsetti, in Santa Maria di Sala.
Because the fair becomes biannual
The choice depends on the success of the first two spring editions (we talked about it when the fair returned to Forte Marghera last April) which recorded such growth that the Fiereventi organizers saw it as a clear signal: the public interested in natural well-being does not move seasonally intermittently, on the contrary, it is looking for opportunities that are as recurring as possible. Hence the decision to double the appointments instead of simply repeating the annual formula.
The setting of Villa Farsetti
Villa Farsetti, moreover, is not a neutral container. The villa dates back to the eighteenth century, today it belongs to the Municipality of Santa Maria di Sala and guarantees large green spaces together with an architecture that lends itself well to an event built around themes such as balance and awareness. Anyone who organizes events of this type knows it well: the environment becomes part of the experience as much as the program, and here the experience takes place from 10am to 7pm for both days.
Sixty exhibitors including stands and wellness professions
In the exhibition area there are around sixty realities including holistic operators, wellness professionals and companies in the sector, ranging from naturopathy to natural cosmetics, from organic food to craftsmanship, up to wellness tourism and training schools. For visitors it means being able to speak directly with professionals who offer treatments, products and paths, a contact that in a sector largely based on personal relationships weighs more than any technical data sheet.
The conferences, between personal growth and energy disciplines
The conference program, entrusted to experts called from outside, addresses topics ranging from personal growth to meditation, from spirituality to energy disciplines. They are meetings designed for people looking for real insights, not a simple pastime between one stand and another, and for this reason they remain deliberately distinct from the more practical part of the fair.
Experiential laboratories: from theory to practice
It is here that the event changes tone, because the experiential workshops allow you to personally try some of the most requested disciplines of the moment, from yoga to Tai Chi, from Qi Gong to sound relaxation sessions, up to meditation and energetic movement techniques, always guided by qualified operators. There are no additional entry barriers: the activities are included in the ticket and are open to anyone visiting the fair, whether they are a long-time enthusiast or someone approaching these practices for the first time.
Tickets and practical information
On a practical front, entry costs 10 euros at the full rate, while the reduced ticket dedicated to our readers is available for 8 euros, which can be downloaded from the official website. The complete program of conferences and workshops, constantly updated, is published on the official website of the event, where all the logistical details can already be consulted.
With the appointment of Villa Farsetti, Holistics and Wellbeing becomes something more stable in the sector’s calendar. Two editions a year, two different locations, with the same underlying idea: that well-being, the real one, never really has just one season.
