Edition 2025 — Christmas in Ostuni

The 2025-2026 edition of Christmas in Ostuni, featuring the Bianco Natale project, took place from November 30, 2025, to January 6, 2026, with a theme dedicated to the guiding star, a symbol of orientation and hope. The historic center of the White City was lit up with illuminations and projections, while the Villa Comunale Sandro Pertini hosted markets and installations. Between free concerts, contemporary circus, and family events, the festival brought the village to life for over a month.

Bianco Natale 2025: the guiding star

The 2025 edition of Christmas in Ostuni kicked off on November 30, 2025, at 8:30 PM, with the inaugural show and the lighting of the tree in Piazza della Libertà, the heart of the luminous path that crossed the historic center up to Piazzetta Sant'Oronzo and Viale Pola. The theme of the year, the guiding star, inspired the illuminations, projections, and scenery.

Free concerts and shows

Among the most anticipated events were the free concerts in Piazza della Libertà: Vinicio Capossela on December 29, Gaia Gentile on December 30, and the New Year's Eve party with Terraross and DJ sets on December 31. The Circo Madera brought contemporary circus from December 26 to January 6, while Santa's House in Piazzetta Sant'Oronzo welcomed children and families with readings and workshops.

Markets and exhibitions

Christmas markets enlivened the Villa Comunale Sandro Pertini with chalets, local products, and handicrafts, accompanied by nativity scenes, exhibitions, and light installations spread throughout the village. The event, promoted by the Municipality of Ostuni and the DUC Città Bianca, concluded on January 6, 2026, with Epiphany events.
