Edition 2025 — Here Comes Befana!

On January 6, 2025, Piazza Marconi in Montecchio Maggiore also welcomed Here Comes Befana!, with the distribution of stockings and candies to children, mulled wine and hot chocolate for everyone, and the traditional Burning of the Witch to conclude the Christmas festivities. The event confirmed its role as the final appointment of the Buone Feste program in the Vicenza town.

The 2025 edition of Here Comes Befana! animated Piazza Marconi on the afternoon of Epiphany, with Befana distributing stockings and candies to the little ones and the offer of mulled wine and hot chocolate. To close the day, as tradition dictates, the Burning of the Witch took place in the historic center of Montecchio Maggiore, sealing the Christmas period.
