Markets in Rome: October 2026

Discover all the markets planned for this month in Rome!

October marks the real restart of Rome’s market season. After the summer break the city’s independent markets are back, several of them with new venues, new formats and news worth flagging. Here are the ones to keep on your radar this month.

Two to start with. Unique Mkt returns for its autumn edition on October 10-11 at Industrie Fluviali, in the heart of the Ostiense district. Dedicated to contemporary craftsmanship and well-made, original products, it brings together selected exhibitors from across Italy over several floors, in one of the most striking spaces on Rome’s market scene.

Later in the month comes Unconventional Market, on October 24-25 at Mediterraneo al MAXXI. Rome’s independent fashion and design market features emerging brands, craft and creativity, with music and DJ sets throughout the weekend. It’s one of the best places in the city to discover new labels and one-of-a-kind pieces.

Vinyl lovers can start on October 3 with Vinyl Village at Monk, which returns on Sunday October 18 with La Domenica Vintage, a free market of vintage, vinyl, illustration and handmade stalls. On October 10-11, Unique Mkt brings its autumn edition to Industrie Fluviali in Ostiense…
