About Christmas Markets of Brescia

As winter arrives, Brescia dresses up for the holidays: the Christmas Village in Piazza Vittoria is filled with wooden chalets offering crafts and gastronomic specialties, while the ice skating rink appears in Piazza del Mercato. This is the heart of "Buon Natale Brescia", the municipal Christmas program that brings dozens of events to the city, including concerts, street performances, markets, guided tours, and activities for children, animating the historic center until Epiphany.

Brescia in the Festive Spirit

Every year, between late November and Epiphany, Brescia embraces the Christmas atmosphere with the Buon Natale Brescia program, promoted by the Municipality of Brescia. The historic center of the capital of the Province of Brescia fills with lights, scents, and initiatives that attract families and visitors from all over Lombardy.

The Christmas Village in Piazza Vittoria

The focal point of the celebrations is the Christmas Village in Piazza Vittoria, with its wooden chalets – around thirty of them – offering gift ideas, artisanal products, and food and wine specialties from the Brescia region and the nearby traditions of Trentino, Piedmont, and Valle d'Aosta. Between stalls, you can feel the convivial atmosphere typical of Christmas markets.

The Ice Skating Rink

A short walk away, in Piazza del Mercato, the ice skating rink is set up, which has been one of the most beloved attractions for families for years. Together with the market, it creates a Christmas route that combines shopping, fun, and tradition in the heart of the city.

Dozens of Events Until Epiphany

"Buon Natale Brescia" is more than just a market: the program includes concerts, dance performances, street shows, markets, guided tours, and workshops for children. The Municipality has confirmed the event with a multi-year tender for the years 2025, 2026, and 2027, ensuring the continuity of an appointment that has become part of the habits of the people of Brescia.
