Lugo Vintage Festival

The vintage festival that conquered Lugo

The Lugo Vintage Festival is one of the most beloved events in the calendar of Lugo, a town in Bassa Romagna in the province of Ravenna, in Emilia-Romagna. Organized by the association Vintage per un giorno (Vintage for a Day), the festival animates the monumental Pavaglione and the entire historic center twice a year (in spring and autumn), transforming them into a large, widespread stage dedicated to vintage culture, antiques, and sustainable fashion.

Almost two kilometers of stalls and over 300 exhibitors

The heart of the event is the vintage market «Vintage per un giorno»: over 300 selected exhibitors, from all over Italy, set up almost two kilometers of stalls under the arcades of the Pavaglione and along the streets of the center. Among the stalls, you can find vintage clothing, designer accessories, branded bags, vinyl records, old hi-fi systems, antique furniture, toys, and vintage bicycles: a journey through the history of fashion and design, featuring clothing, objects, and memories.

Not just a market: exhibitions, music, and workshops

The Lugo Vintage Festival is much more than a market. The program includes themed exhibitions set up in the evocative Pescherie della Rocca (Fish Market of the Fortress), concerts and DJ sets that liven up the squares, themed window displays, workshops, and initiatives dedicated to sustainable fashion and reuse, often involving local schools. Among the main venues are the Pavaglione, Piazza Trisi, Corso Garibaldi, Via Baracca, and the courtyards of the Rocca Estense (Este Fortress).

A nationally recognized event

With over 20,000 visitors per edition, the Lugo Vintage Festival has been listed for four consecutive years by Vogue Italia among the ten best vintage markets in Italy. This achievement testifies to the event's ability to combine a passion for vintage fashion with the enhancement of Lugo's historic center and its Pavaglione, one of Romagna's largest and most spectacular arcaded spaces.
