From 9 to 11 November 2026, Maglie celebrates San Martino with three days of faith, Salento flavours and light. The event revolves around the Mercatino del Gusto: artisans and traders offer the typical products of the occasion between Via Orfanotrofio and the squares of the historic centre, near the small church dedicated to the Saint. The 2026 programme is entitled "Earth, fire, wine and light" and alongside tastings features the Dialogues of San Martino on earth, wine and light and the lantern walk at the Fondazione Capece. On 11 November the religious programme culminates with the procession in honour of the Saint along the streets of the town centre. The festival is promoted by the Municipality of Maglie and organised by the Associazione Mercatino del Gusto, with the coordination of the Comitato Direttivo. Temporary traffic changes are planned in the affected streets for the entire duration of the event.
