About Sbaraccando

Sbaraccando is the open-air shopping event that has enlivened the historic center of Poggibonsi, in the province of Siena, for many years. For four days, local shopkeepers set up stalls along the streets and squares, offering end-of-season goods at truly unmissable prices. Enjoy a stroll through clothing, footwear, jewelry, home textiles, and artisanal creations, all complemented by hot fritters and family-friendly activities.

Sbaraccando, end-of-season shopping in Poggibonsi

Sbaraccando is a long-standing event held in the historic center of Poggibonsi, in the heart of the Valdelsa region in the province of Siena, Tuscany. Organized by the Viamaestra Natural Shopping Center Association, the event transforms the city's streets and squares into a large open-air market for a few days, dedicated to great end-of-season deals.

A market spread throughout the city center

The concept is simple: local shops step out of their storefronts to set up outdoor stalls along the pedestrian streets, creating a vibrant, sprawling showcase that fills the heart of Poggibonsi. It is the perfect opportunity to shop at great prices while enjoying the festive atmosphere of the historic center.

Among the stalls, you will find something for every taste and age:

  • Clothing for men, women, and children
  • Trendy footwear
  • Jewelry and accessories
  • Quality home textiles
  • Local artisanal creations

More than just shopping

Sbaraccando is also designed with families in mind: recent editions have featured a play area for children in the pedestrian zones. To make the weekend even more delicious, there are freshly made fritters, a sweet tradition that accompanies the afternoons of the event.

A landmark in the heart of Valdelsa

Held between February and March, Sbaraccando marks the end of the winter season and invites residents and visitors to rediscover the center of Poggibonsi. For the Municipality of Poggibonsi and the province of Siena, it is a well-established fixture in the local commercial and entertainment calendar.
