Arts, Crafts, and Antiques Market

A market in the heart of the Four Provinces Apennines

The Arts, Crafts, and Antiques Market is one of the most anticipated events of the summer in Cabella Ligure, a village in the upper Val Borbera, located at the crossroads of Piedmont, Liguria, Lombardy, and Emilia. Every year, on the first Sunday of August, the town's public gardens transform into a large open-air exhibition space, bustling from the early morning hours with stalls from exhibitors, hobbyists, and artisans.

What to find at the stalls

Winding through the shade of the public gardens, you will find a wide array of offerings: antique furniture, vintage textiles, and curiosities for collectors, handmade crafts, and a vast selection of local food and wine products. The stalls are packed with cured meats, cheeses, baked goods, honey, and local specialties, making the market an ideal opportunity to explore the flavors of the Apennines.

Organization and atmosphere

The market is promoted by the Roba da Streije association in collaboration with the Municipality of Cabella Ligure and draws hundreds of enthusiasts and curious visitors each year in search of items with both economic and sentimental value. The setting of the public gardens and the relaxed atmosphere of the village make it a family-friendly day out—a stroll through the stalls that also serves as a great excuse to visit Cabella Ligure and the protected area of the Capanne di Marcarolo and Val Borbera.

A highlight of the Cabella summer

The market is part of the extensive Cabella Estate calendar, which offers events throughout the summer months dedicated to the community, local culture, and gastronomic traditions, ranging from walks among local producers to musical performances and the feast of Saint Lawrence. For exhibitors wishing to participate, the municipality publishes registration procedures, deadlines, and required documentation each year.
