Grand Tour of the Marche 2026: villages, flavors and experiential routes

The 2026 edition of the Grand Tour of the Marche is a program of events designed to showcase historic villages and local communities through festivals, food events and cultural initiatives. The focus is on promoting sustainable, local tourism with attention to accessibility.

New features include digital tools to improve event enjoyment: the Accessibilometer and the Sustainability Meter, aimed at assessing and enhancing accessibility and sustainability. The Grand Tour in Bike offers six slow bike stages to cross the Marche region. A refreshed visual identity and the mascot Martino, the traveling woodpecker, will guide visitors across the program.

Why attend

The circuit is ideal for travelers seeking authentic village experiences: historic center events, locally sourced specialties, exhibitions and community moments. It’s a chance to discover local realities, taste regional products and support territorial economies.
