Tips & Advice
- Allow time to walk the whole route, which runs from lower Viale Stazione through the historic center and loops around Piazza Indipendenza.
- Dress warmly for a December day outdoors, since the nearly 200 stalls are spread along open streets and squares.
- Exhibitors should sign up for both Sundays, as those attending both days get priority for a stall.
- Stallholders should plan to use power only for lights, because electricity is supplied just for lighting each stall.
