The reuse and vintage market in the historic center of Santarcangelo
The Family Market is one of the most beloved events of spring in Santarcangelo di Romagna, in the heart of the province of Rimini, in Emilia-Romagna. For an entire Sunday, the streets of the historic center — via Saffi, via Don Minzoni, via Molari, via Matteotti, and via Cavour, around Piazza Ganganelli — transform into a large, spread-out market dedicated to reuse, vintage items, and "bargain hunting".
The idea behind the event is simple and virtuous: clear out cellars and attics and give new life to what is no longer used. Individuals, families, and volunteer associations can participate, while professional traders are excluded. It is precisely this non-commercial nature that makes the market genuine and full of surprises. Among the stalls, you can find clothing, books, toys, furniture, records, and small antique items.
The event is designed to be enjoyed at a leisurely pace, strolling among the stalls and browsing in search of a bargain or a hard-to-find item. The setting of Santarcangelo's historic center, with its alleys, tuff caves, and the atmosphere of the Malatesta village, adds charm to an outdoor day suitable for all ages. The market is often part of a weekend full of initiatives in the town, with other events dedicated to antiques and shopping.
The event is organized by Pro Loco Santarcangelo in collaboration with Blu Nautilus, and in 2026 it will reach its ninth edition. Over the years, the Family Market has become a regular fixture in Santarcangelo's calendar, successfully combining social interaction, sustainability, and local focus in a simple and engaging format.
The 2026 edition of the Family Market, the ninth, was held on Sunday, May 3, 2026, from 9 AM to 7 PM in the historic center of Santarcangelo di Romagna. Along Via Saffi, Don Minzoni, Molari, Matteotti, and Cavour, around Piazza Ganganelli, individuals and associations displayed clothing, books, toys, furniture, and vintage items in a large reuse market.
