Christmas in Assisi

Christmas in Assisi 2025 lit up on December 6, with the activation of the lights at 5:00 PM, symbolically from Bethlehem, and continued until January 6, 2026. The visual heart of the event, the videomapping projected famous contemporary artworks onto the facades of churches and monuments, from Chagall to Magritte, from Klimt to Banksy.

The large exhibition of Nativity scenes brought together about 800 Nativity scenes from around the world, displayed in three locations (including Palazzo Monte Frumentario, Galleria Le Logge, and Palazzo del Capitano del Perdono), featuring an impressive Sicilian Nativity scene by Angela Tripi, 8 meters long. There were also living Nativity scenes in the hamlets (Armenzano, Petrignano, Tordandrea) with free shuttle buses, the medieval music festival 'DeMusicAssisi Winter Edition', the Christmas train, street performers, and New Year's and Epiphany celebrations.
