Amidst hot chocolate, mulled wine, workshops, face painting, and magical moments, the market opens the 'Buone Feste a Montecchio Maggiore' (Happy Holidays in Montecchio Maggiore) programme, which brings over thirty events to the town between December and Epiphany. A convivial event for families in the West Vicentino area.
