Hobbyists' Market

The Hobbyists' Market in Soraga di Fassa

In the heart of Val di Fassa, the municipality of Soraga di Fassa hosts the Hobbyists' Market, an event dedicated to handmade creations, collecting, and the creativity of many enthusiasts. The event takes place in the square adjacent to the playground, a space easily accessible on foot from the town center, in an alpine setting framed by the Dolomite peaks of the province of Trento, in Trentino-Alto Adige.

What to find at the stalls

For an entire day, exhibitors offer unique and curious items, all the result of manual work and a passion for DIY. Strolling among the stalls, you can discover:

• glass and ceramic artifacts;
• wood and metal works;
• textiles, embroidery, and home goods;
• paintings, tools, and floral arrangements;
• vintage pieces and collectibles.

The hobbyists who bring the market to life come from Soraga and other towns in the valley, as well as from South Tyrol and other Italian regions, bringing a varied cross-section of artisanal traditions and small creative productions to Val di Fassa.

An opportunity for the town

The Hobbyists' Market is much more than a simple exhibition of goods: it is a meeting point that celebrates manual work, individual creativity, and collecting, offering residents and tourists the chance to browse, chat with exhibitors, and take home an original object. The initiative is part of the rich summer calendar of events, fairs, and markets in Val di Fassa, designed to accompany mountain holidays with appointments spread across all the villages of the valley.

Soraga di Fassa and the Dolomites

Located along the Avisio river, Soraga di Fassa is the gateway to Val di Fassa for those arriving from Val di Fiemme. The town is an excellent starting point for excursions towards the Catinaccio, Marmolada, and Sella Dolomite groups, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Participating in the market therefore means combining a pleasant walk among crafts and collectibles with the discovery of one of the most characteristic villages of the Trentino Ladin area.
