Caorle Christmas Time
The longest Christmas in Italy, with lights, sea, and shows
About Caorle Christmas Time
The longest Christmas in Italy
Caorle Christmas Time is one of the longest Christmas markets and events in Italy: for over a month, from December until Epiphany, the ancient fishing village of Caorle (Venice) lights up with a nearly two-kilometer light trail that winds through the historic center and the Lungomare (seafront) overlooking the Adriatic.
Attractions for everyone
The event features a Ferris wheel overlooking the city, a large ice rink, the captivating videomapping that illuminates the church facade every evening, Santa Claus's House in Piazza Pio X, and areas dedicated to street food like FoodLand. There are also Christmas markets with wooden stalls, live shows, concerts, theater, and entertainment for children.
A record-breaking event
With hundreds of thousands of visitors at each edition, Caorle Christmas Time has become a major attraction for the entire Veneto coast and beyond. Organized by the Municipality of Caorle, it combines the magic of the holidays with the unique atmosphere of a seaside town in winter, confirming Caorle as a premier Christmas destination in Veneto.

As tradition dictates, the event spans over a month, typically from early December until Epiphany, animating the historic center and the seafront with the light trail, markets, and major attractions.
