The Christmas review of Cernusco sul Naviglio, with an ice rink, living nativity scene, and the magic of cinema
In Cernusco sul Naviglio, in the province of Milan, the holiday season comes to life with Ciak, è Natale!, the review that for over a month transforms the town center into a grand Christmas set. This edition is dedicated to cinema, celebrating 130 years since the birth of the seventh art: a common thread found in the decorations, initiatives, and piped music, which fills the streets and squares with soundtracks from beloved Christmas films and cartoons.
The heart of the review is the ice rink set up in Piazza Unità d'Italia, open until Epiphany. Around it, a packed schedule of events: the traditional living nativity scene with hundreds of participants, the Christmas Run, craft markets, concerts, theater for the little ones, and the lighting of the tree and illuminations. Some events also reach the more peripheral squares, such as Santa's village in Piazza Ghezzi and children's entertainment in Piazza Gavazzi.
Ciak, è Natale! combines the magic of the holidays with a focus on solidarity, with fundraising for charitable organizations that involve the community during the events. Organized by the Municipality of Cernusco sul Naviglio, the review is the result of the work of associations, schools, and volunteers who together bring the town's Christmas to life.
Part of the Christmas traditions of the Martesana territory, Ciak, è Natale! is an opportunity to experience the spirit of the holidays just a few kilometers from Milan, with ice skating, markets, and shows. An event that every year lights up the heart of Cernusco sul Naviglio with lights and magic.
The 2025-2026 edition of Ciak, è Natale! celebrates 130 years of cinema, with piped music of Christmas film soundtracks in the streets of Cernusco sul Naviglio's center. From November 29 to January 6, the ice rink in Piazza Unità d'Italia, the living nativity scene, the Christmas Run, the markets, and shows for children animate the town's festivities, with a solidarity fundraiser to support charitable organizations.
