About European Market Cervia
A Market That Smells of Europe
The European Flavors Market is one of the most anticipated events of the late summer calendar in Cervia, in the Province of Ravenna, in the heart of the Romagna Riviera. Every year, in September, the town's historic center, and particularly Piazza Andrea Costa, comes alive with over a hundred street vendors from all over Europe and various Italian regions, transforming the streets into a large open-air culinary itinerary.
Flavors from Across the Continent
The strength of this market lies in its variety: strolling among the stalls, you'll find specialties from many countries, including France, Germany, Spain, Greece, Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Hungary, Ireland, and Great Britain, alongside offerings from further afield such as Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Thailand, and Senegal. Typical Italian products are also present, from Sicilian excellence to Tuscan, Umbrian, Piedmontese, and Apulian specialties.
- International street food: German wurst, Spanish churros, paella, Argentinian grilled meat, Dutch crepes
- Sweets and baked goods from all over Europe, from Nordic pastries to Czech pandolce
- Craft beers, liqueurs, and food and wine specialties
- Handicrafts, ceramics, jewelry, accessories, and home and wellness items
More Than Just Gastronomy
The European Market is not just an opportunity for tasting and shopping: throughout the weekend, the center of Cervia hosts side events designed to enrich your visit, such as art exhibitions, painting, ceramics, and photography displays by Romagna artists, and open-air performances. It's a perfect chance to also discover the salt town, the evocative Magazzini del Sale (Salt Warehouses), and the seafront, during one of the most pleasant times of the year on the Adriatic coast.
An Established Tradition
Organized by FIVA Confcommercio Ascom Cervia in collaboration with the national network of European Markets, the event has grown edition after edition to become a late-summer classic in Emilia-Romagna. Admission is completely free, and the extended opening hours, from morning until midnight, make it ideal for both daytime visits and evening strolls among lights, aromas, and music.
