Torbole Hobbyists' Market

An evening market on the shores of Upper Garda

The Torbole Hobbyists' Market is one of the most charming fixtures of summer evenings in the Upper Garda Trentino area. It takes place in the picturesque Piazzetta Lietzmann, in the heart of Torbole sul Garda, a district of the Nago-Torbole municipality in the province of Trento (Trentino-Alto Adige). Just a few steps from the lakeshore, the market accompanies the evening strolls of residents and tourists alike in a relaxed and convivial atmosphere.

What to find at the stalls

The stars of the show are the hobbyists: passionate creators and collectors who display their wares across a maximum of 26 stalls. Visitors can discover vintage clothing and second-hand items, accessories, handmade jewelry and crafts, small antiques, collectibles, and curious rarities. It is the perfect destination for those who love hunting for one-of-a-kind pieces, nostalgic treasures, or handmade gifts, far from the mainstream commercial circuits.

When and where

The market is held on select Sundays between June and September (up to a maximum of six dates per season), always in the evening, from 5:00 PM to 10:30 PM. Its summer schedule and late-afternoon timing make it a pleasant stop at the end of a day spent between the lake and the mountains of Upper Garda, complemented by the mild climate that characterizes this part of Trentino.

A local tradition

Organized by the Municipality of Nago-Torbole, the Hobbyists' Market is a free-entry event designed to showcase local creativity and enliven the center of Torbole during the peak tourist season. Torbole sul Garda, famous for its winds and water sports, thus offers an opportunity for quiet leisure, perfect for families, curious visitors, and vintage lovers.
