Fairy lights, nativity scene, and stalls in Piazza Italia
In Alzano Lombardo, in Val Seriana (province of Bergamo), the Christmas Market traditionally marks the beginning of the festive season. The heart of the event is Piazza Italia, where the lighting of the decorations and the inauguration of the nativity scene draw crowds of all ages for the community's first Christmas embrace.
Along the square, there are stalls selling crafts and local products, while the atmosphere is enlivened by shows and entertainment dedicated to children, curated in recent years by animators from Teatro Chapati. It's an opportunity to stroll among the lights, discover gift ideas, and taste the delicacies of the season.
The Christmas Market is organized by the Comunità delle Botteghe together with the Municipality of Alzano Lombardo, an example of collaboration between shopkeepers and the administration to liven up the town center during Advent.
For those visiting Val Seriana in December, the Alzano Lombardo Christmas Market is a pleasant stop to immerse yourself in the festive atmosphere, with its decorations, nativity scene, and the typical conviviality of Christmas markets in the Bergamo area.
