Market Days FAQs

Ostuni typically hosts its weekly market on SATURDAY MORNINGS, with an additional midweek market on Wednesday. Markets usually run from early morning until around 1pm. The Saturday market features seasonal fruit & veg, new and 'pre-owned' clothing and shoes as well as plants, household items etc. There is an additional smaller market on WEDNESDAY for fruit & veg and a small selection of household and clothing essentials.

Most weekly fruit, vegetable and general goods markets operate year-round, although opening times may vary slightly in winter. Some antiques and specialist markets are seasonal. Inclement weather naturally causes a full cancellation or very limited market stall presence.
