Christmas Markets

2025 Christmas Markets

The 2025 Christmas Markets brought the Parco Belvedere Extramurale Pertini in Ruvo di Puglia to life over three Sundays during the holiday season: November 30, December 14, and 28, with continuous hours from 10:30 AM to 9:00 PM.

The park transformed into an enchanted village with giant inflatables, a funfair area, a reindeer-led sleigh, a castle with a slide, Santa's house, and an artistic nativity scene set up in the park's trullo, curated by nativity artist Enzo Pellegrini. There was no shortage of craft stalls and food stands offering fried pastries, roasted chestnuts, sausage sandwiches, mulled wine, and cotton candy.

The opening Sunday on November 30 featured entertainment by the Bassa Banda di Molfetta, the Christmas tree lighting, a concert by the youth group of the NEUMA cultural association, and the opening of the nativity scene with bagpipe interludes. Subsequent Sundays featured further entertainment, music, and Christmas performances. The event, organized by the National Bersaglieri Association, Ruvo di Puglia branch, with the support of the Municipality, was free to attend.
