A sensory journey through colors and scents, enlivened by musical entertainment and scattered performances, designed for families and curious visitors discovering the excellence of the Marche region.

A widespread garden in the heart of Offagna

Crafts in Bloom is the event promoted by Offagna Crea with the patronage of the Municipality of Offagna, in the Province of Ancona, in the Marche region.

Between flowers, shops, and tradition

The common thread of the event is the dialogue between tradition and contemporary creativity.
