Not only stands

Stalls, but also antiques and gastronomic delights. In addition to the traditional stalls housed along via Loreto, piazza dei Martiri, piazza Santo Stefano and via Roma, there will also be the market of “Things of old houses in the traditional cornie of piazza delle Erbe, while in piazza Duomo (Cathedral side) space for products typical, with the counters (at least ten) of the Unione Montana Belluno-Ponte nelle Alpi.

Green Pass

To access the fair it will be necessary to have a valid Green pass; random checks by the police will be provided. “The obligation of the Green pass is not a choice of the administration, but it is a provision provided for by the national rules on the containment of the spread of the virus”, points out d’Emilia, “which will allow us to return to enjoy the fair”.
