About DONA Easter Markets

The DONA Easter Markets liven up the historic center of Lugo, in the Bassa Romagna region, with two days dedicated to creativity, craftsmanship, and spring. Under the historic Logge del Pavaglione, in Piazza Mazzini, the best creatives and hobbyists from Romagna exhibit handmade objects, original gift ideas, and small works of ingenuity. A free-entry event organized by the Pro Loco of Lugo with the patronage of the Municipality, perfect for a spring shopping stroll while awaiting Easter.

A Spring Market in the Heart of Lugo

The DONA Easter Markets are one of the most anticipated events of the spring season in Lugo, organized by Pro Loco di Lugo APS with the patronage of the Municipality of Lugo, in the province of Ravenna, in the heart of the Bassa Romagna region. The event is part of the calendar of creative markets under the DONA brand, designed as an opportunity to discover small gifts for everyone, focusing on craftsmanship and independent creativity.

The Setting of the Logge del Pavaglione

The event takes place under the Logge del Pavaglione, in Piazza Mazzini: an imposing 18th-century quadriportico with large arcades, created specifically to host markets and fairs. This historic setting protects exhibitors and visitors from the weather, allowing the event to take place in any meteorological condition and offering a unique atmosphere, suspended between commerce and architectural heritage.

What You Can Find

The stalls bring together the best creatives and hobbyists from Romagna, with selected offerings and unique handmade items. Among the stalls, you can find:

  • artistic craft creations and spring and Easter decorations;
  • original and personalized gift ideas;
  • costume jewelry, textiles, ceramics, and small design items;
  • typical regional products and local crafts.

It's the ideal opportunity for a different kind of spring shopping, supporting local artisans and bringing home a handmade gift for the Easter holidays.

An Event for the Whole City

The DONA Easter Markets are not just a shopping opportunity but also a moment to animate the historic center of Lugo. The event attracts families and visitors from neighboring towns in the Bassa Romagna, helping to liven up the city's streets and squares. The event is part of the Pro Loco's rich program, which throughout the year offers numerous events under the Pavaglione, from creative markets to Christmas events.

Accessibility and Welcome

The event has free admission and is accessible to people with disabilities. The city offers convenient parking nearby and a dedicated area for camper vans, making the visit easy even for those arriving from outside. A day to spend strolling through the arcades, looking for the perfect item.
