The Christmas event of Vico Parasacco, in the historic center of Venafro
In the historic center of Venafro (province of Isernia), Vico Parasacco maintains an independent and familial vibrancy that every December brings "Magia di Luce" to life, a Christmas event organized by the Associazione Parasacco. The heart of the celebration is the lighting of the decorations and the handcrafted ornaments made by the residents themselves, transforming the alley into a corner of Christmas poetry.
The program is designed primarily for children: creative workshops for kids, entertainment with soap bubbles, the "Elves' House" where children write letters, the recreated Santa Claus's house, and finally, the lighting ceremony. For everyone, there's a tasting of taralli from the "Quattro Cannelle" biscuit factory accompanied by mulled wine.
"Magia di Luce" is, above all, a neighborhood celebration: the initiative involves residents in creating the decorations together and aims to share with children "the value of anticipation and desire" typical of the Christmas tradition. A small event that tells the community spirit of Venafro's historic center.
For Christmas 2026, the return of "Magia di Luce" is expected in Vico Parasacco in Venafro, curated by the Associazione Parasacco. The festival, following the established format, includes the lighting of the alley with handcrafted decorations by residents, workshops for children, Santa's house, and the tasting of taralli and mulled wine. The exact date will be announced shortly before the holidays.
The detailed 2026 program will be published closer to the event. Based on recent editions, the day will include: creative workshops for children, soap bubble entertainment, the "Elves' House" for writing letters, Santa Claus's house, the lighting of the alley's lights and handcrafted decorations, tasting of taralli from the "Quattro Cannelle" biscuit factory with mulled wine.
One day in December, during the Advent period (in 2024, December 7th, from the afternoon; lights turn on at 5:30 PM).
