On this page
From late May to late August the Pro Loco fills piazza Carrara, in the main village, with stalls from 10 am to 6 pm. In the 2026 programme the markets were scheduled on 26 days: Sunday 31 May, Monday 1 June, two Saturdays in June, almost every weekend in July and August and, from 14 July to 25 August, Tuesdays too. Some days were devoted to the producers of Coldiretti and of the Cascinale Lombardo, two to the children's market, and on 5 July and 30 August the square hosted the Sbaracco cantine, the second-hand market.
It returns every year: the date shown is that of the latest documented edition, the next one should be confirmed with the organisers. Last documented edition: 31 May 2026.
The 2026 market calendar
The dates are those of the booklet with the summer programme the Pro Loco published in May 2026. The season opened on Sunday 31 May and Monday 1 June, the eve of Republic Day, with the «In attesa dell'estate» (waiting for summer) day and Mago Celestino's entertainment from 2 to 5 pm. Not in the calendar were Sunday 19 July, the day of the Mountain Festival at Pian della Palla, and Saturday 29 August, the day of Val ParinArt in Zorzone; on Sunday 30 August the square hosted only the Sbaracco cantine.

Coldiretti, Cascinale Lombardo, children and Sbaracco: the special days
On the days marked «Coldiretti» and «Cascinale Lombardo» the programme lists the markets of the farmers' confederation and of the Cascinale Lombardo. The children's market, on 11 and 14 July, and the Sbaracco cantine, the second-hand market of 5 July and 30 August, require registration with the Pro Loco, which collects it directly.
To exhibit or to register, the reference is the Pro Loco office, via Roma 201, phone 0345 95541. In summer 2026 it was open in June from Friday to Sunday, 9.30 am to 12 noon and 3.30 to 6 pm, and in July and August every day, 9.30 am to 12 noon and 4 to 6.30 pm.
Piazza Carrara and the Pro Loco's other events
Piazza Carrara is in the centre of the main village: the Pro Loco office, the bars and the ice-cream shop of the centre are along via Roma, the road that crosses the village. The square is also the stage of the other summer and autumn events: the dance evenings of August nights, the bingo night of 16 August with the prizes of the «Balconi fioriti» (flowered balconies) and «Una montagna di Lego» contests, the Carnival markets and the November Autumn Festival.
By car you park near the parish church, where OpenStreetMap marks a free public car park; by bus you get off in piazza Tiraboschi with Arriva's line B, which runs Monday to Saturday. On Friday mornings, a few hundred metres away, there is the weekly summer market in piazza Mons. Belotti, which is a different thing: it is run by the municipality.
Summer weather and tips
According to the ERA5 averages in the main village's page, in July the minimum is about 12 °C and the maximum 22 °C, in August 12 and 21 °C, and it rains a good deal in summer too: about 230 millimetres in July and 240 in August. The programme does not list the exhibitors of each day: if you are looking for a specific product, it is quicker to ask the Pro Loco. The 2026 booklet was published in mid-May, and it is the document to look for in later summers too.
