About Christmas Market
Christmas on the Water in Battaglia Terme
The Christmas Market along the Canal brings the festive atmosphere to the historic center of Battaglia Terme, a spa town in the Euganean Hills in the province of Padua. Along Via Colli and Via Terme, overlooking the Battaglia Canal, are stalls from hobbyists and associations with food and craft products, for early Christmas shopping.
The Nativity Scene on the Water
The most characteristic moment is the Nativity Scene on the Water, with moving figures placed on boats and rafts along the canal: a representation that has testified to the village's river vocation for over thirty years, always linked to navigation and boatmen. During the market day, the village comes alive with the music of bagpipes and the arrival of Santa Claus for the little ones.
A Village to Discover in Winter
Amidst purchases, flavors, and lights, the market is an opportunity to discover Battaglia Terme in the winter season, strolling along the canal and visiting the Museum of River Navigation, the custodian of the memory of the Veneto waterways and its boatmen.
