About Spring Market

The Spring Market brings Lequio Tanaro to life, a small town in the Province of Cuneo perched like a balcony over the UNESCO-listed Langhe hills. For one Sunday in mid-May, the Belvedere and Piazza Senatore Curreno fill with stalls featuring artisans, handmade creations, local products, and street food in a community festival designed for all ages, celebrating slow living, togetherness, and the local economy.

A spring festival on the Balcony of the Langhe

As spring hits its stride, Lequio Tanaro dresses up in the colors and scents of the season for its Spring Market. The village, located in the Province of Cuneo, is known as the Balcony of the Langhe: from its Belvedere, the view stretches across the UNESCO-listed hills, making this setting truly special. For an entire Sunday, the town becomes a meeting point for residents, curious travelers, and visitors passing through the heart of Piedmont.

Where it takes place

The heart of the event is the charming Piazza Senatore Curreno, along with the Belvedere area, which transform for the occasion into a vibrant space dedicated to colors, flavors, and craftsmanship. The town center streets host the exhibitors' stalls, creating the convivial atmosphere that defines Langhe village festivals.

What to expect

The market showcases the work of numerous hobbyists with their handmade creations, alongside local businesses—pizzerias, cafes, and food shops—and merchants who bring the day to life. There is also plenty of street food, with a varied and high-quality culinary selection.

  • Artisan stalls and hobbyist creations
  • Typical products and specialties from the Langhe region
  • Street food and craft beers
  • Convivial moments designed for families and children

The spirit of the event

As Mayor Giuseppe Trossarello notes, the market offers "the luxury of slowness: the pleasure of a chat among the stalls" and is "an event designed for young and old, aimed at promoting the local economy in a festive setting." It is an event that celebrates the beauty of being together, rooted in local traditions. The organization is managed by the Municipality of Lequio Tanaro, the Pro Loco, and the cultural association Lequio Enjoy, with the invaluable contribution of volunteers and exhibitors.
