About Jesi Craft Market

Several times a year, the central Piazza della Repubblica in Jesi, in the heart of the Vallesina area (Ancona province), transforms into an open-air showcase of artistic and traditional craftsmanship. Among the stalls, you'll find unique handmade creations, woodcrafts, home decor items, local food and wine specialties, and artisan masters at work. It's a free event, accessible to all, perfect for a stroll through the historic center amidst ancient crafts and original ideas.

A Market of Art, Hands, and Tradition

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.

What You'll Find at the Stalls

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.

  • Handcrafted creations and handmade items
  • Woodworking and home decor
  • Local products and enogastronomic specialties
  • Live demonstrations of ancient crafts

In the Heart of the Historic Center

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.

Organized By

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.
