Handmade creations and typical products in the heart of Jesi
The Artisan and Traditional Craft Market is one of the most beloved events in the city calendar of Jesi, located in the heart of the Vallesina valley, in the province of Ancona. Several times a year, the picturesque Piazza della Repubblica, overlooking the Pergolesi Theatre, fills with colorful stalls showcasing handmade creations, decorative objects, artistic works, and local products.
The market displays the best of local craftsmanship: from gilded frames to wooden creations, from home furnishings to decorative items, as well as typical food and wine specialties from the Marche region. One of its most appreciated features is the presence of artisan masters at work directly in the square, demonstrating the gestures and techniques of traditional crafts live.
The elegant setting is Piazza della Repubblica, one of Jesi's city lounges. Jesi is the birthplace of Emperor Frederick II and composer Giovan Battista Pergolesi. Admission is free and the event is designed for a relaxed experience, strolling among the stalls and perhaps taking the opportunity to discover the historic center of the Marche region.
The market is organized by Teor Eventi with the patronage of the Municipality of Jesi, in collaboration with local entities such as Confartigianato Imprese Ancona, supporting the work of artisans and promoting local excellence. It is a small but significant part of the cultural and commercial life of Jesi and the Marche Region.
The first seasonal event of the Artisan and Traditional Craft Market took place in Jesi on Saturday, March 21, and Sunday, March 22, 2026, in Piazza della Repubblica. As per tradition, the stalls offered unique creations, local products, and many handmade items, supporting the work of local artisans.
