Centocelle Street Market

A market in the heart of Centocelle

The Centocelle Street Market is one of the neighborhood's most cherished events: several Sundays a year, Via dei Castani, one of the liveliest commercial arteries in Rome's Municipio V, closes to traffic and fills with stalls. The area involved stretches between Piazza San Felice da Cantalice and Via dei Glicini, which gives the event its popular name (Glicini-Cantalice).

What to find among the stalls

The socio-cultural event is designed as a meeting point for culture, craftsmanship, and social interaction. Strolling along the street, you will encounter exhibitors of all kinds:

• Artistic and creative crafts, featuring handmade pieces;
• Vintage and collectibles, for enthusiasts of all things retro;
• Regional food products and specialties to enjoy on the spot;
• Handmade jewelry and accessories;
• Painting and figurative arts.

More than just shopping: family entertainment

The market is more than just a walk among the stands. Throughout the day, there are creative workshops, entertainment shows, outdoor games, face painting, and small performances designed for the little ones. It is an opportunity to experience the neighborhood in a slow and convivial way, whether you are looking for a unique item or simply stopping by for a stroll in good company.

A neighborhood staple

Promoted by Roma Capitale through Municipio V, the Centocelle Street Market is primarily held during the milder seasons, with dates spread between spring and autumn. Via dei Castani, the beating heart of Centocelle in the eastern suburbs of the capital, thus confirms itself as a small urban stage where commerce, creativity, and community life intertwine just a few steps from the metro stations.

How it works

Admission is free, and the market remains active all day, from morning until evening. The street, pedestrianized for the occasion, becomes a long corridor of stalls that is easily accessible by public transport, perfect for a different kind of Sunday in the Lazio region without leaving the city.
