GRAN BALON OCTOBER 2025

On Sunday, October 12th, Turin will be covered in history and authenticity with the monthly Gran Balon, including over 300 stands that will fill the charming streets of Borgo Dora, offering a journey through vintage and antiques.

☘☘ This month, the event is doubly special: our partnership with 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐅𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 is taking shape, which is dedicated to the changes taking place in the world and the old and new values ​​that accompany it, scheduled from October 10th to 12th in the streets of Balon.

Both the traditional Balon on Saturday the 11th and the Gran Balon on Sunday the 12th will host the 𝙎𝙞𝙜𝙣 𝙁𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙖𝙡!

Sustainability and Inclusion: the heart of the event

Gran Balon is not just a market, but a spontaneous workshop.

Circular Economy: Every used item purchased is a concrete gesture for the environment. Giving objects a second life is the most authentic form of sustainability.

Multiculturalism: Borgo Dora, a crossroads of cultures, reflects the richness of an ongoing dialogue between diverse people and stories, just like Sign Festival does.

If you’re a Fashion Designer, there’s still time to sign up for the first contest where you create… LIVE ‼

The now historic 𝙄𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙎𝙩𝙮𝙡𝙚 competition, aimed at stylists and designers and held as part of the SIGN FESTIVAL (formerly Barolo Fashion Show), moves to Turin in an innovative format. In collaboration with Balon!

The new competition is themed around upcycling and involves two phases:
1) la presentazione di una propria collezione upcycling;
2) the on-site and live creation of an outfit created through the use of items found during the two days of the Balon and Gran Balon market.
