About Valeggio Veste il Vintage

Twice a year, in spring and autumn, the historic center of Valeggio sul Mincio transforms into a large open-air market dedicated to vintage. Over fifty selected exhibitors bring vintage clothing, accessories, antiques, and design objects to Piazza Carlo Alberto and the village streets, in a journey through the fashions of different eras. Born in 2009, Valeggio Veste il Vintage has become the best-known retro event in the Veronese area, attracting enthusiasts, collectors, and the curious from all over Italy.

A retro market in the heart of Valeggio

Valeggio Veste il Vintage enlivens the historic center of Valeggio sul Mincio, in the province of Verona, twice a year: one Sunday in spring (usually in May) and one in autumn (usually the first Sunday in October). The streets and squares of the village, starting from Piazza Carlo Alberto, fill with stalls and umbrellas for a day that is a market, exhibition, and community celebration all in one.

What you'll find at the stalls

The over fifty selected exhibitors offer vintage clothing, tailored dresses from the Fifties, American jewelry, accessories, home decor, antiques, and unique design pieces. Strolling among the stalls means traversing different eras and styles, among rare garments and objects that tell the story of another Italy. Over the years, the event has become a reference point for stylists, fashion editors, and costume scholars seeking inspiration.

Between fashion and taste on the Mincio

The village of Valeggio sul Mincio is famous for its food and wine excellences: the renowned tortellini, the wines from the morainic hills, and the offerings from restaurants, pasta makers, and wineries accompany the day with a delicious break between purchases. Admission is free, and the village's location just a few kilometers from Lake Garda makes it a perfect destination for a Sunday of culture, shopping, and good food. The event is organized by the Pro Loco of Valeggio sul Mincio.

Valeggio Veste il Vintage — edition 2026
