About Christmas with Us

From the last weekend of November until Epiphany, Marostica transforms into a large open-air nativity scene. Christmas with Us lights up the walled town with the ice skating rink in Piazza Castello, Christmas markets, the itinerant show 'A Christmas Carol', gospel concerts, and the highlight events of Christmas Eve, with fireworks and the evocative burning of the Lower Castle. A rich program for families and visitors.

The walled town dresses up for Christmas

Christmas with Us is the program of initiatives that enlivens the Christmas period in Marostica (province of Vicenza, Veneto). From the lighting of the tree and lights on the walls until Epiphany, the historic center hosts a long series of events designed for families, children, and visitors, in the scenic setting of Piazza Castello.

Ice skating rink and markets

The heart of the initiative is the 500-square-meter ice skating rink set up in Piazza Castello, alongside the Christmas markets in the square and along Corso Mazzini, with musical entertainment. Among the most popular events are the itinerant show 'A Christmas Carol' in the historic center and the gospel concerts at the Teatro Politeama.

The magic of Christmas Eve

The most evocative moment is the evening of December 24th, with the parade of Santas in carriages accompanied by the Philharmonic Band and, in the evening, fireworks with the famous burning of the Lower Castle. The celebration continues until Epiphany, with the arrival of the Befana and shows for the little ones. The event is organized by the Municipality of Marostica with Pro Marostica, Confcommercio, and Confartigianato.
