Program and Schedule: What to Expect in San Miniato
The market runs on all six event days, open Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 to 20:00. Since access to the historic center is limited for private cars during the event, a mandatory shuttle bus service brings visitors into the old town. Alongside the market itself, each weekend features tastings, guided walks and culinary demonstrations spread across the historic streets.
