Three days of flavors, crafts, and international street food in Piazza Arese
In the municipality of Cesano Maderno (Province of Monza and Brianza, Lombardy), Piazza Arese hosts the European Market, a traveling event organized by FIVA Confcommercio, the Italian Federation of Street Vendors. For three days, the square transforms into a large international market, with stalls and stands from various European countries and from all over the world.
The heart of the market is its food and wine offer: street food, typical gastronomy, beers, and regional specialties are alongside artisanal products, handmade items, and home and wellness goods. Strolling among the stalls means taking a journey through different tastes and traditions, from Spanish paellas to Northern European sweets, from German beers to Italian cheeses and cured meats.
With free admission, the European Market is one of the most attended events in Cesano Maderno's autumn calendar. FIVA's proven formula, present in numerous Italian cities, brings an international fair atmosphere to Cesano Maderno's city center, attracting visitors from Brianza and the Milanese hinterland for a weekend of shopping, tasting, and strolling.
The charm of the European Market lies in its ability to transform an Italian square into a small map of the continent: in a few steps, you can experience the aromas and traditions of different countries, in a mosaic of stalls, signs, and specialties that tells the story of Europe's cultural and gastronomic richness. For many Cesano families, it has become a regular event, to be enjoyed at leisure over the three days, between a tasting and the purchase of a unique artisanal product. An event that combines the pleasure of food with the joy of discovery.
The 2026 edition of the European Market takes place from October 16 to 18 in Piazza Arese, Cesano Maderno, with continuous hours from 9:00 AM to 12:00 AM.
