The international vinyl fair on Lake Maggiore, summer edition at the Vecchio Imbarcadero in Intra
Vinilpatia is the international vinyl fair held in Verbania, the capital of the Verbano-Cusio-Ossola province in Piedmont. The summer edition takes place at the Vecchio Imbarcadero in Intra, overlooking Lake Maggiore, and is one of the most anticipated events for music enthusiasts and collectors across the lake region.
For an entire day, exhibitors from all over Italy and abroad transform the lakefront into a massive record market. Among the stalls, you can find LPs, 45s, rare editions, reissues, picture discs, and CDs, spanning every musical genre: rock, pop, jazz, blues, classical, soundtracks, Italian singer-songwriter music, and much more. It is the perfect opportunity to trade, sell, and buy records, or to hunt down that long-sought-after rarity.
Vinilpatia is a recurring event organized by the Pro Loco Tourist Association of Verbania with the support of the Municipality. Throughout the year, the fair offers multiple editions hosted at both Villa Giulia in Pallanza and the Vecchio Imbarcadero in Intra. The summer edition by the lake is particularly appreciated for its relaxed atmosphere and the chance to combine a passion for music with a stroll along the Verbano.
Access to the fair is free. The event is part of the rich calendar of cultural activities in the Municipality of Verbania, helping to highlight the center of Intra and its historic pier as a meeting place for the community and visitors alike.
