Event Markt SelberGMOCHT

The "handmade" market made in Südtirol

The Event Markt SelberGMOCHT is the Lagundo stop of the well-known South Tyrolean circuit of creative craft markets SelberGMOCHT, which enlivens various squares across South Tyrol throughout the year. The name, in the South Tyrolean dialect, literally means "made by oneself": it is the promise of a market where every object is handmade with care and passion, and offered directly by the creator. In Lagundo (Algund), a charming town in the Merano area in the Autonomous Province of Bolzano, the event takes place on the scenic church square (Kirchplatz), in the town's pedestrian zone.

What you will find among the stalls

The SelberGMOCHT circuit brings together about ninety South Tyrolean producers and artisans who present a wide variety of unique creations. Among the most characteristic offerings are:

• artistic ceramics and carved wooden objects;
• hand-sewn garments, felt, and knitwear;
• hand-forged jewelry and original accessories;
• natural cosmetics and wellness products;
• local delicacies from beekeepers, chocolatiers, and small-scale producers.

Carpenters, seamstresses, beekeepers, painters, and chocolatiers transform the square into an open-air showcase of South Tyrolean ingenuity and craft tradition.

Atmosphere, music, and gastronomy

SelberGMOCHT is more than just a market: it is a festive day for the whole family. Alongside the stalls, there is live music and food service with specialties prepared on-site, perfect for a peaceful stroll among the stalls with a gourmet break included. Admission is free, and the setting of the pedestrian square makes the visit pleasant even with children.

Lagundo and the Merano area

Lagundo, the "garden village" at the gates of Merano, is a renowned destination for its mild climate, vineyards, and cycling and walking paths along the Adige river and the Via Claudia Augusta. A stop at the SelberGMOCHT market can easily be combined with a walk in the historic center or along the Merano promenades, blending artisanal shopping, nature, and good food into a single day.
