About Mercatini di Natale di Brescia

As winter arrives, Brescia dresses up for the holidays: the Christmas Village in Piazza Vittoria fills with wooden stalls offering crafts and gastronomic specialties, while the ice rink appears in Piazza del Mercato. This is the heart of "Buon Natale Brescia", the City Council's Christmas program, which brings dozens of events to the city, including concerts, street performances, markets, guided tours, and activities for children, enlivening the historic centre until Epiphany.

Brescia in the festive mood

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 Christmas Village in Piazza Vittoria

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.

The ice rink

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.

Dozens of events until Epiphany

"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.
