About Adria of Christmas
Christmas in Adria
Adria di Natale is the festival that accompanies the holiday season in the historic center of Adria, in the province of Rovigo. Organized by the Pro Loco of Adria, it intertwines religious tradition, nativity art, and entertainment, from December 8th until Epiphany.
The Nativity Scene and Artistic Nativity Scenes
The symbol of the event is the nativity scene created by the Pro Loco, set up on the water when conditions permit, or on the promenade of Piazza Garibaldi. Alongside it, the 'Presepi in Chiesa' competition and an exhibition of artistic nativity scenes enrich the city's Christmas itinerary.
Readings, Lights, and Decorations
The program includes themed Christmas poetry readings and a widespread display of decorations and lights in the historic center, transforming the city streets into a festive route for residents and visitors.
Who Organizes
The event is curated by the Pro Loco of Adria, a reference point for the city's events in Polesine.
