Artisans and Merchants Festival

A festival for the town's shops

The Artisans and Merchants Festival is the event that, in the heart of summer, transforms the center of San Raffaele Cimena into a widespread showcase of local trades. The town, located on the hills to the right of the Po river, just a few kilometers from Turin in the Metropolitan City of Turin, Piedmont, reserves its most central streets for local artisans and merchants, who display their products, creations, and specialties along a path to be discovered while strolling.

Where it takes place

The heart of the festival is Via Ferrarese and the square in front of the Town Hall: this is where the stalls, craft stands, and workshop areas are located. The intimate size of the village allows you to experience the event in a relaxed way, moving on foot from one spot to another without haste, between a chat with the exhibitors and a delicious break.

What to expect

• Craft exhibitions: creations by local artisans and those from the surrounding area, from decorative objects to handmade goods.
• Market stalls along Via Ferrarese, featuring local products and commercial offerings.
• Workshops for all ages, designed to involve families and introduce younger generations to manual skills.
• Street food with refreshment points to enjoy specialties on the spot.
• Live music to accompany the afternoon and evening.

A community event

Organized with the involvement of the Municipality of San Raffaele Cimena and the Pro Loco, the festival is first and foremost a meeting point for residents and an opportunity for visitors from neighboring towns to discover a quiet corner of the Turin hills. Admission is free and the atmosphere is that of a genuine, welcoming Piedmontese village festival, where attention to local activities blends with the pleasure of being together in the open air.
