The Christmas Village in Piazza Vittoria and the ice rink
Every year, between late November and Epiphany, Brescia embraces the Christmas spirit with the Buon Natale Brescia program, promoted by the City Council of Brescia. The historic centre of the capital of the Province of Brescia is adorned with lights, scents, and initiatives that attract families and visitors from all over Lombardy.
The focal point of the festivities is the Christmas Village in Piazza Vittoria, with its wooden stalls – about thirty of them – offering gift ideas, artisanal products, and gastronomic specialties from the Brescia region and the nearby traditions of Trentino, Piedmont, and Valle d'Aosta. Wandering among the stalls, you can feel the convivial atmosphere typical of Christmas markets.
A short walk away, in Piazza del Mercato, the ice skating rink is set up, which for years has been one of the most beloved attractions for families. Together with the market, it creates a Christmas route that combines shopping, fun, and tradition in the heart of the city.
"Buon Natale Brescia" is more than just a market: the program includes concerts, dance performances, street shows, markets, guided tours, and workshops for children. The City Council has confirmed the event with a multi-year tender for the years 2025, 2026, and 2027, ensuring the continuity of an event that has become a tradition for the people of Brescia.
The 2026 edition of Brescia's Christmas markets is part of the "Buon Natale Brescia" program. The Christmas Village in Piazza Vittoria offers wooden stalls with crafts and gastronomic specialties, while the ice rink returns to Piazza del Mercato. The historic centre also hosts concerts, shows, markets, and activities for children until Epiphany. Precise dates will be announced by the City Council in autumn.
The detailed program and precise dates will be published by the City Council of Brescia closer to the holidays.
