Casoria and Arpino Now Christmas

The widespread Christmas of Casoria

Casoria and Arpino Now Christmas is the festive program through which the Municipality of Casoria, a populous town in the northern area of Naples in Campania, lights up the month of December. It is not just a single event, but a true widespread Christmas village that involves both the main town and the Arpino district, with two parallel calendars designed to bring the holidays to the entire community.

Two villages, one celebration

The heart of the celebrations in Casoria beats at Parco Michelangelo, where wooden chalets, decorations, and an ice rink are set up alongside music, entertainment, and shows. In Arpino, the hub is the Villa Comunale on Via Benedetto Croce, transformed into a child-friendly space with a Christmas funfair, creative workshops, and visits from Santa Claus. A symbolic moment is the lighting of the grand tree in Piazza Cirillo, which officially kicks off the festivities.

A program for all ages

The schedule alternates between activities dedicated to children and evenings for everyone: DJ sets and Santa's sleigh, elf workshops for making decorations, folk music, cabaret, local school performances, puppet shows, and magic acts. The festivities conclude with the Befana Festival and the traditional New Year's Eve toast in the square.

• Markets and wooden chalets with local products and handicrafts
• Festive lights and scenic displays in the squares
• Ice rink and family-friendly attractions
• Shows, cabaret, and live concerts throughout the month

A community event

Conceived by the municipal administration as an opportunity for social gathering and the rediscovery of public spaces, Casoria and Arpino Now Christmas aims to give citizens a local, free, and participatory neighborhood Christmas that unites the town center and the district under the same lights. An initiative that has grown in recent years to become a fixed appointment on the city calendar in the province of Naples.
