Gossolengo Fair and Used Goods Market

The Gossolengo Fair and Used Goods Market

The Gossolengo Fair and Used Goods Market is one of the most established events of the summer in the Municipality of Gossolengo, in the Province of Piacenza, in the heart of Emilia-Romagna. Now in its latest editions after more than forty years of history, the fair transforms the historic center of the town into a large open-air market for an entire weekend, where used goods stalls, quality merchants' stands, craftspeople, creatives, and exhibitors of vintage items intersect.

A Village Festival Between Market and Tradition

More than just a commercial fair, the event is a true village festival, capable of attracting visitors from all over Val Trebbia and the Piacenza region. You can find truly everything among the stalls: antiques, modern items, old toys, vintage cars, local craft products, and collectible curiosities. The atmosphere is that of convivial and family-friendly provincial events, where a stroll among the stalls alternates with stops at the food stands.

Food and Torta Maria Luigia

The pulsating heart of the fair is the food curated by the Pro Loco of Gossolengo, which offers food stands at lunch and dinner with the flavors of Emilian tradition. The signature specialty of the event is Torta Maria Luigia, a typical cake that represents Gossolengo and its Pro Loco and is offered for tasting within the context of this quality festival.

Music, Dancing, and Shows

The program is enriched with musical evenings, entertainment for children, dancing, and theater performances in dialect, following a proven formula that alternates moments of celebration for young people and more traditional events for families. The event is organized by the Pro Loco of Gossolengo in collaboration with the municipal administration and the association of Quality Merchants.
