Artisans & Producers – Downtown Market

A market spread through Ancona's living room

In the heart of the Marche capital, "Artisans & Producers – Downtown Market" enlivens the elegant Piazza Cavour, the true living room of Ancona, several times a year. It is a market dedicated to artistic craftsmanship and typical products, where exhibitors come from all over the province and the rest of the Marche to offer their creations. It is not a simple trade fair: it is an opportunity to discover the local manual know-how, made of leather goods, accessories, objects, and gastronomic specialties.

What you can find at the stalls

Along the stands set up in the square, you can find local products, artisanal creations, and handcrafted artistic items. Among the recurring offerings are leather goods, hair accessories, costume jewelry, home decor, gift ideas, and local food specialties. It's the right place to take home a unique piece or a genuine flavor of the Marche, perhaps for an occasion like Mother's Day, around which one of the events often revolves.

Who organizes it

The market is organized by Teor Eventi in collaboration with Confartigianato Imprese Ancona-Pesaro e Urbino and with the patronage of the Municipality of Ancona. The municipal administration has recognized the event as a local fair of promotional value for the city and for the businesses in the center. Admission is always free and the event takes place on weekends, with multiple dates spread throughout the year.

In Ancona, between the sea and the historic center

Experiencing the market is also an excellent excuse to stroll through the center of Ancona, the capital of the Marche region overlooking the Adriatic Sea. From Piazza Cavour, Corso Garibaldi and the shopping streets are easily accessible, while the port, the Cathedral of San Ciriaco, and the Mole Vanvitelliana tell the long Doric history. The market is one of the events that, along with other exhibitions and markets in the center, mark the city's event calendar from spring to autumn.
