Notte Bianca at Mercato Serpentara II

The local market's evening festival

In the heart of the Nuovo Salario district, just a stone's throw from Fidene and Serpentara, the Mercato Rionale Serpentara II on via Virgilio Talli is more than just a place for residents to shop: once a year, it transforms into a vibrant neighborhood festival. The Notte Bianca at Mercato Serpentara II, promoted by the AGS Serpentara II association, opens the market's doors into the evening, filling the space with lights, music, and people.

What to expect

The formula is simple and successful: market stalls stay open late into the evening alongside craft exhibitors, while a DJ set brings the square to life with 80s and 90s hits. For the little ones, there is plenty of entertainment, games, and small surprises, while the market's food stands offer delicious bites in an informal, family-friendly atmosphere.

• Craft stalls and local market products;
• Music and DJ sets featuring the greatest hits of the 80s and 90s;
• Children's entertainment and games;
• Street food and tastings from market vendors;
• Completely free admission.

A market that becomes a community hub

The initiative was born from a specific vision by the AGS Serpentara II association: to showcase local markets not just as commercial spaces, but as hubs of culture, connection, and social life. Serpentara II is one of the few markets in Rome to have embraced this evening opening, with internal dining options and extended hours to bring people back to the stalls outside of traditional shopping times.

Where it takes place

The event is held at the Mercato Rionale Serpentara II, on via Virgilio Talli, within Municipio III of Rome (Lazio), in the area north of the city between Nuovo Salario, Serpentara, and Fidene. The area is served by the Nuovo Salario train station and numerous urban bus lines.
