Merchants' Fair of Carate Brianza

The market that enlivens the center of Carate

The Merchants' Fair is one of the events that brings people back to the streets of the center of Carate Brianza, in the province of Monza and Brianza. For an entire Sunday, the town's streets transform into a large open-air market, with dozens of stalls lined up along Via Cusani, Piazza Battisti, and Corso Libertà.

What you'll find among the stalls

The offering is typical of large town market fairs: crafts, antiques, and vintage items, objects, clothing, local products, and curiosities of all kinds. It's the right occasion for those who love rummaging through stands in search of a bargain or a unique piece, but also for those simply looking for a different kind of stroll, amidst the aromas of street food and the comings and goings in the town center streets.

A Sunday of town life

More than just a commercial fair, the Merchants' Fair is a moment of socializing: families, the elderly, and young people gather for a walk, the shops in the center remain open, and the atmosphere is that of relaxed town Sundays. Organized by the Municipality of Carate Brianza, the event is part of the calendar of events that mark the city's year and help keep the commercial heart of the Monza area alive, in the province of Monza and Brianza. It is also an opportunity for many exhibitors and street vendors from the area, who find the Carate fairs a traditional and very popular commercial event.
