For the beginning of the Easter period a market is done in the town: the Palm Sunday fair.
Goods for every taste, spices with their exotic smell and colours turn Castri into a large open market for one day. The stalls are placed in Caduti square, Paperi square, via Vittorio Emanuele, via De Gasperi and Via Brodolini. Respecting the ancient tradition, in the fair is sold as well livestock, which nowadays mostly have a small size.
Come avveniva anticamente, in occasione della Fiera delle Palme si vendono anche capi di bestiame, ormai prevalentemente di piccola taglia.
