Christmas in Roseto (Santa's Village and Christmas markets)

Christmas 2025 in Roseto degli Abruzzi offered a particularly rich calendar from December 6, 2025, to January 5, 2026. Santa's Village opened in Piazza della Repubblica before moving to Piazza della Libertà and the hamlets of Cologna Paese and Cologna Spiaggia. Christmas markets animated Piazza della Libertà on December 6, 7, and 20, and January 3, while December 8 saw the opening of artistic nativity scenes at the Villa Comunale and the "Christmas through the Village Streets" initiative in Montepagano.

Musical highlights included the "Solo Piano" concert at Villa Paris (December 22), "Christmas in Jazz" at the Church of Santa Maria Assunta (December 23), and the New Year's Concert with the Daniele Falasca Trio at Villa Paris (January 1). The Christmas Beer Fest was also held between the two main squares from December 19-21. The festivities concluded with the New Year's Eve Party in the Square on December 31 and the Befana descent from the bell tower on January 5. The initiative was organized by the municipal administration in collaboration with VisitRoseto.
