Umbrian-Provençal market in Tübingen

Italian-French flair on the Neckar

Mediterranean flair arrives in the university city of Tübingen! Every year, the Umbrian-Provençal market transforms the metropolis of Tübingen into a center of Italian and French culinary delights and arts and crafts. The event, which takes place in mid-September, is a fixture in Tübingen's event calendar and is the event highlight at the end of the summer vacations.

Market bustle with a touch of Italy and France

The Umbrian-Provençal market attracts over 100,000 visitors to the city on the Neckar every year. Over the course of five days, all kinds of handicrafts, regional products and typical delicacies from the two partner cities of Aix-en-Provence (Provence, France) and Perugia (Umbria, Italy) can be admired, tasted and purchased at lively stands. Of course, local products from Tübingen also find their place at the market.

 The market area extends mainly around the old town between the Holzmarkt, the market square and the surrounding streets and alleyways (Neckargasse, Neue Straße, Kirchgasse, Marktgasse, Kornhausstraße, Hafengasse, Krumme Brücke).

Program

The Mediterranean weekly market is framed by a dazzling art program that brings a vacation feeling to the end of the summer and instantly transports visitors to Provence or Umbria. Whether it's French comedians and street musicians or original Italian bands. At the colorful stands you will find a potpourri of specialties from Bella Italia.
