Lugo Vintage Festival (Autumn Edition)

The autumn edition of the Lugo vintage festival

The Lugo Vintage Festival returns every autumn to liven up the historic center of Lugo, a town in the Bassa Romagna region of the province of Ravenna, in Emilia-Romagna. Organized by the association Vintage per un giorno (Vintage for a Day), this October edition is the autumn twin of the spring event and re-proposes the same winning format: two days where vintage fashion, antiques, and design come back to life next to the Rocca Estense, under the monumental arcades of the Pavaglione, and along the streets of the center.

Almost two kilometers of stalls and about 300 exhibitors

The heart of the event is the "Vintage per un giorno" vintage market: about 300 exhibitors, from Ravenna and all over Italy, set up almost two kilometers of stalls between the Pavaglione, Piazza dei Martiri, and the streets of the historic center. A unique feature of the festival is the strong presence of exhibitors who are not professional traders but enthusiasts and collectors of vintage items. Among the stalls, you can find vintage clothing, designer accessories, antiques, vinyl records, collectible comics, memorabilia, and out-of-print curiosities ready to find new life.

More than just a market: exhibitions, conferences, and music

The Lugo Vintage Festival is much more than a market. The program includes themed exhibitions set up in the evocative Ex Pescherie della Rocca, conferences, DJ sets and concerts that liven up the squares, themed window displays set up by the shops in the center, and initiatives dedicated to sustainable fashion and the culture of reuse. Key venues include the Pavaglione, the Ex Pescherie, the Cloister, and the courtyard of the Rocca Estense.

A nationally significant event

With over 20,000 visitors per edition, the Lugo Vintage Festival has been highlighted for years by Vogue Italia among the best vintage markets in Italy. The autumn edition, in particular, accompanies the rediscovery of Lugo's historic center during the most picturesque time of the year and combines the passion for vintage fashion with the enhancement of the Pavaglione, one of the largest and most evocative arcades in Romagna.
