About Christmas Village

From November to January, Peschiera del Garda transforms into a Christmas Village: in Piazza Ferdinando di Savoia, you'll find Christmas markets, an ice skating rink, a miniature train for children, and illuminations that light up the fortified town on Lake Garda. Open daily, with music and celebrations until midnight on New Year's Eve, it's one of the most evocative Christmas events on the Veronese side of the lake.

Christmas in the fortress on the lake

The Christmas Village of Peschiera del Garda, in the province of Verona, enlivens the town from Advent until Epiphany. The heart of the event is Piazza Ferdinando di Savoia, which hosts the markets, wooden chalets, and Christmas attractions, while illuminations light up the streets of the center enclosed by Venetian walls.

Ice skating, miniature train, and lights

Among the most popular attractions are the ice skating rink, the miniature train for the little ones, and the evocative illuminations that transform the fortress into an enchanted village. The village is open daily throughout the Christmas period, offering an experience designed for families, couples, and visitors of all ages.

From Christmas to New Year's Eve

The event runs throughout the festive season: from Advent markets to New Year's Eve celebrations, when the village remains open until midnight with music to welcome the new year together. An atmosphere that combines the magic of Christmas with the unique charm of the lakeside town.
