The Treasures Fair – Weekly Market of Crafts and Traditions

A New Saturday Event in Ancona

The Treasures Fair is one of the new features for the city of Ancona in 2026, the capital of the Marche region and its province. It is a weekly market that transforms Viale della Vittoria, one of the most representative thoroughfares in the city center, into a widespread showcase of crafts, food and wine, and local traditions every Saturday. The initiative was officially recognized by the Ancona Municipal Council, which on April 2, 2026, granted the event the status of a local fair.

What You Can Find at the Fair

The market offers a diverse range of products, designed for both local residents and weekend visitors to Ancona. Among the stalls, you can find:

• Artistic crafts and products from the artisan trades of the Marche region;
• Food and wine and local specialties, from traditional dishes to flavors of the Conero area;
• Objects and small collectibles;
• Exhibitors dedicated to the popular traditions and material culture of the region.

A Showcase for the Territory

With its status as a local fair, the Treasures Fair benefits from a 90% reduction in the Single Patrimonial Fee for Concessions and the right to use the Ancona Municipality logo on promotional materials. This signifies the value the municipal administration places on these events for promoting the city: the market is not just an opportunity to shop, but a way to bring life and social interaction to the city's avenues throughout the season.

A Calendar Spanning a Season

Unlike a festival concentrated in a few days, the Treasures Fair sets the rhythm of the city for many months: the 2026 calendar includes weekly events from June to December, every Saturday. This makes it a stable point of reference for Ancona residents and for tourists visiting the capital and the Conero Riviera, always in the same setting of Viale della Vittoria.

Ancona and Its Markets

This event is part of a rich Ancona tradition of markets and trade fairs that liven up the city center from spring to the Christmas period, from the famous patronal feast of San Ciriaco to seasonal markets. The Treasures Fair enriches this landscape with a weekly, recurring format, particularly dedicated to crafts and products from the Marche region.
