Christmas in Comiso

Comiso gets dressed for the holidays

Christmas in Comiso is the calendar of events that brings the historic center of the town of Comiso, in the province of Ragusa, to life every year throughout the holiday season. For several weeks, the main squares and streets are filled with lights, wooden chalets, and music, turning this town in the Ragusa area into an ideal destination to experience the Christmas atmosphere in Sicily.

Markets and family attractions

The heart of the festival is the Christmas village set up in Piazza Fonte Diana and along Corso Vittorio Emanuele and Viale della Resistenza, in a format dubbed "Corso e Viale in Festa". Among the wooden chalets, you will find stalls from local artisans selling decorations, ceramics, nativity scenes, and typical products, alongside street food stands offering traditional Sicilian sweets.

• Ice rink in Piazza Fonte Diana, one of the most popular attractions;
• Carousel dedicated to the little ones;
• The large illuminated tree and light installations;
• Street artists, jugglers, and musicians enlivening the center.

Concerts, theater, and tradition

The program weaves together cultural and religious moments: the Teatro Naselli and Palazzo Labisi host shows and film screenings, while the traditional Christmas concert takes place in the Mother Church of Santa Maria delle Stelle. The hamlet of Pedalino also participates in the celebrations with traditional novenas and entertainment in Piazza Gramsci.

New Year's Eve and Epiphany

The most anticipated moment is the New Year's Eve in the Square: on New Year's Eve, Piazza Fonte Diana lights up with live music and a midnight toast. The festivities conclude on Epiphany, with events designed especially for children.

A truly Sicilian Christmas

Promoted by the Municipality of Comiso with the collaboration of local associations, Christmas in Comiso is a free, widespread event that showcases the city's Baroque historic center in the heart of south-eastern Sicily, attracting families and visitors from neighboring towns in the Ragusa area every year.
