Crema Carnival Markets

The market that accompanies carnival

While the allegorical floats parade in the square, the historic center of Crema comes alive with the Crema Carnival Markets: on the three Sundays of Carnival, the city's streets and squares are filled with stalls offering the best of food and wine, crafts, and popular traditions. It's the delicious and colorful accompaniment to the Gran Carnevale Cremasco, in the province of Cremona.

Three squares, over a hundred exhibitors

The markets extend between Piazza Duomo, Via Manzoni, and Piazza Madeo, with over a hundred exhibitors alternating over the three Sundays. Alongside local products, you'll find specialties from all over Italy — Lombardy, Piedmont, Liguria, Tuscany, Sicily, Puglia, and other regions — in a journey that invites you to discover flavors and crafts from every origin.

The flavors of Crema's tradition

Among the stalls, local specialties are a must: the sweet tortelli cremaschi, Salva cheese, salame cremasco, spongarda cake, and mostarda. These are joined by creative craft items, natural wellness products, and books, offering a range that goes far beyond just taste.

A festival for everyone

Promoted in collaboration with the Carnevale Cremasco and the Pro Loco of Crema, with the patronage of the Municipality and the Province of Cremona, the markets have free admission. With a refreshment area open from morning to evening, they are the ideal opportunity to experience the Crema carnival through its cuisine, between one parade and another.
