Christmas Markets and Slow Village

A widespread program for the entire holiday season

Christmas 2025 in Foggia was created through a public notice from the Department of Culture, in collaboration with the Puglia Region, Puglia Promozione, Giordano in Jazz, and other associations. The result was a widespread program that involved squares, main streets, and the Incoronata district from the Immaculate Conception to Epiphany.

The commercial heart of the festivities was the market in Piazza Umberto Giordano, with twelve characteristic wooden huts open from December 8th to January 6th, while the Slow Park on Via Manfredi hosted the Slow Village with traditional games curated by the So' Bellicos association. There was no shortage of the nativity scene along Corso Vittorio Emanuele and in Piazza Mercato, roving performances, gospel and jazz concerts, and street bands in the center.
