The All Souls' Market (‘Sealamorkt’) in Glurns is one of the largest annual fairs in the Alpine region, because every year on 2 November, lots of traders travel to Glurns from all over the South Tyrol region and beyond. Today, the public is just as varied as the market's range of goods. Italian, German and Swiss tourists mingle with the locals to buy clothes, food or even sheep, since there’s also a large livestock market in the ‘Sealamorkt’. Glurns has a long tradition when it comes to markets. As early as the 14th century, this small town was granted market rights, which consequently made it one of the most important trading centres of the Middle Ages due to its favourable location near Switzerland. At that time, farmers sold their surplus livestock, exchanged grain, vegetables and fruit, and stocked up on goods for the winter.
