Mercanteinfiera Parma Fair is Europe’s largest antiques, modern design, and collectibles fair, held twice a year at Fiere di Parma in Parma, Italy. It has been running for over 40 years and draws more than 1,000 exhibitors from across Europe, covering antique furniture, jewellery, vintage objects, collectibles, and modern antiques. The event is held both in spring and autumn. The autumn 2025 edition recorded 56,000 visitors and over 6,500 buyers from around the world.
The fair attracts both trade professionals and general collectors, making it a significant event on the European antiques calendar. Parma sits in the heart of the Emilia-Romagna region and is well connected by rail and road, making it a practical base for visitors combining the fair with time in the city.
The city of this event is in the heart of the Italian Food Valley, Parma. This fair welcomes thousands of exhibitors and visitors twice a year, spring and autumn, with its authentic soul: a city of art, music, and gastronomy capable of making Mercanteinfiera a complete and unforgettable experience.
