Spring Market in Varsi

A market that smells of spring

When the Parma Apennines awaken after winter, Varsi celebrates the arrival of the beautiful season with its Spring Market. The event takes place in Piazza Monumento, the village's open-air living room, where exhibitors' stalls colour the morning with spring-themed offerings. It is a simple and genuine event, designed for residents and visitors, which transforms the town centre into a pleasant meeting place.

Where: Piazza Monumento, in the heart of Varsi

The square hosting the market is no ordinary place: here stand the remains of the medieval castle of Varsi, a 10th-century manor, and the church of San Pietro Apostolo. Strolling among the stalls means immersing yourself also in the history of this corner of Emilia-Romagna, where time seems to flow more slowly.

Varsi and the Val Ceno

Varsi is a small municipality of just over a thousand inhabitants, nestled in the hills of the Val Ceno, in the hinterland of the Province of Parma. Surrounded by woods, trails, and the charm of the nearby Monte Barigazzo, the village is an ideal destination for those seeking tranquility, nature, and authentic traditions of the Parma Apennines. The Spring Market is one of the opportunities to discover this reality away from the major tourist circuits, in a intimate and familiar setting.
