If you’re wondering what to do on April 25 in Milan besides the parade downtown, there’s an event on the water that combines vintage, yoga, and tango—with no admission fee.
On Saturday, April 25, 2026, the Idroscalo will transform into an open-air festival: Remira Market brings a free day of market shopping, music, and wellness to the Tribune, featuring a milonga at sunset on the floating platform.
Vintage Festival at the Idroscalo: a unique way to celebrate April 25
The Vintage Festival at Milan’s Idroscalo, organized for this Saturday, revolves around Remira Market, a vintage, secondhand, and handmade market that draws a devoted community of secondhand enthusiasts and independent designers in the city.
For one day, the Idroscalo’s Tribune area becomes a small city of reuse: stalls, music, yoga, and tango with a lake view, with free admission.
It’s a perfect alternative for those living in Porta Venezia, Isola, Navigli, or Città Studi who want to soak up the atmosphere of Liberation Day while avoiding the constant crowds between the Duomo and Corso Buenos Aires.
Here, the vibe is more laid-back: community, nature, and a 25 April that blends commitment and lightheartedness in one of the most iconic spots in Milan’s eastern suburbs.
When does the Remira Market event take place, and what are the hours?
The event at the Idroscalo is scheduled for Saturday, April 25, 2026. The Remira Market will be open from 10:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., between the Porta Maggiore entrance and the Tribunes, with over 100 vendors ready to serve visitors all day long.
There are two Kundalini yoga sessions: the first at 11:00 AM, the second at 4:00 PM, both on the floating platform. To close out the day, from 5:00 PM to 8:30 PM, the milonga begins on the floating platform—tango at sunset overlooking the water.
Throughout the day, there will be plenty of live music and DJ sets, interspersed with yoga sessions to set the mood for the event.
How much does it cost, and do I need to make a reservation?
Admission to the Remira Market and the entire event area is free, making it a great option if you’re looking for a low-budget idea for April 25 in Milan. The milonga is also free to attend, but requires mandatory online registration through the organizers.
Kundalini yoga sessions are by reservation with a fee starting at 15 euros.
In short: you can enjoy the whole day for little or no cost, aside from food, drinks, and any vintage purchases.
