Christmas in Ciampino (Christmas Village)

The Christmas Village of Ciampino

During the Advent season, the center of Ciampino, a city in the Metropolitan City of Rome Capital in the Lazio region, hosts Christmas in Ciampino, a true Christmas village with free admission. For the occasion, Piazza della Pace and Via IV Novembre are completely pedestrianized and transformed into a space filled with sparkling lights, festive scents, and colors, animated by markets, shows, and live music.

Markets, crafts, and street food

Along the streets of the center, artisan stalls offer gift ideas, local products, and handmade items, while the street food areas serve Christmas sweets, beers, and seasonal specialties. It is a perfect opportunity to combine holiday shopping with discovering the flavors of the Castelli Romani, in a festive atmosphere that brings together residents and visitors from neighboring towns and Rome.

Entertainment for families

The heart of the event is the roving entertainment: stilt walkers, street performers, artistic and luminous parades, magic shows, aerial performances, giant soap bubbles, juggling, and cabaret for children take place throughout the day. There are also more evocative moments, such as the gospel choir and the Christmas tree lighting, which draw crowds to the square as evening falls.

Santa's House

For the little ones, the village features Santa's House, where children can meet Santa Claus and deliver their letters. Along with workshops and playful activities, it is one of the most anticipated appointments for families, who find an event tailored specifically for them here.

A Castelli Romani tradition

Organized by the municipal administration, Christmas in Ciampino is part of the broader calendar of city festivities, which brings concerts, nativity scenes, workshops, and roving shows to the city between December and Epiphany. Located just a few kilometers from Rome and well-connected, Ciampino becomes a welcoming destination to experience the magic of Christmas in the Castelli Romani territory.
