Europe in the Square - European Market

Europe in the Square in Chiari

In the municipality of Chiari (Province of Brescia, Lombardy), Europe in the Square brings the atmosphere of the traveling European market to the historic center. Between Viale Mellini and Piazza Martiri della Libertà, stalls from exhibitors from various European countries transform the city streets into a large open-air international market.

Tastes and traditions from the continent

The heart of the event is its food and wine offering: street food, gourmet specialties, and typical products from all over Europe are showcased alongside crafts and handmade items. Strolling among the stalls means taking a journey through the continent's culinary traditions, from Northern European beers to French cheeses, from Spanish paellas to German cakes, in a succession of aromas and flavors.

A community event

Organized by Pro Loco Chiari together with FIVA Confcommercio, Europe in the Square is one of the most popular events of the Chiari spring season. The continuous opening hours, from morning until midnight, and free admission make it an event suitable for everyone, capable of animating the historic center and attracting visitors from all over Franciacorta for a weekend of shopping, tasting, and conviviality.

The historic center comes alive

Setting up the European market along Viale Mellini and in Piazza Martiri della Libertà means giving the historic center of Chiari a leading role. The city streets, often rushed through on weekdays, fill with colors, scents, and voices, inviting residents and visitors to stroll leisurely among the stalls. The presence of the Pro Loco ensures a close link with the territory: the event is not just a commercial showcase, but an opportunity to promote Chiari and Franciacorta, welcoming international exhibitors to the heart of a city with a strong identity.
