Mercatini Estivi Gabicce Mare

An evening market along the port canal

The Mercatini Estivi di Gabicce Mare (Summer Markets of Gabicce Mare) are a regular fixture on summer evenings on the Riviera in the Municipality of Gabicce Mare, in the Province of Pesaro and Urbino, in the Marche region. They take place in Via del Porto, on the Pesaro side of the port, along the characteristic canal: an intimate and picturesque walk where stalls light up as the sun goes down, amidst the comings and goings of boaters and the salty sea air.

This is not the typical daytime city market, but an evening market designed for summer strolls: you arrive after dinner or during aperitif time, browse the exhibitors, and then continue towards the seafront and Gabicce Monte. For holidaymakers, it's one of the most pleasant ways to experience the seaside village after a day at the beach.

What you can find at the stalls

The exhibitors exclusively offer non-food products, with a focus on crafts and unique pieces:

• Artistic and ethnic crafts — handmade creations, costume jewelry, decorative objects
• Small antiques — curiosities and items from the past
• Vintage — clothing, accessories, and decorative items for enthusiasts of salvaged goods
• Herbal products — soaps, essences, and natural remedies

It's the right place for those looking for a souvenir that's different from the usual or an original gift to take home at the end of their seaside holiday.

When and where

In 2026, the market is scheduled from June 1st to September 4th, taking place every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evening from 7:00 PM to 11:30 PM. The thrice-weekly frequency throughout the season makes it one of the most consistent evening events of the Gabicce summer, perfect to include in a family holiday itinerary.

Gabicce Mare and its port

Gabicce Mare is the northernmost tip of the Marche region, overlooking the Adriatic Sea on the border with Emilia-Romagna and at the foot of the Monte San Bartolo Natural Park. Its tourist canal port is one of the most picturesque spots in town, especially in the evening when it fills with people strolling around. The evening market in Via del Porto is organized by Promo-D srl and admission is completely free.
