About Mercatini di Natale

On December 8th, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, Fonzaso lights up Christmas with its markets in Piazza I Novembre. Craft stalls and gift ideas, the lighting of the tree with panettone for everyone, songs from schoolchildren, and the evening concert in the parish church kick off the festivities in the Belluno village. Organized by the Pro Loco of Fonzaso, it's a day that fills the town center with lights, scents, and Christmas atmosphere at the foot of the Dolomites.

Christmas begins in the square

The Mercatini di Natale di Fonzaso (Christmas Markets of Fonzaso) officially open the festivities in the village in the province of Belluno. The event is on December 8th, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, when Piazza I Novembre fills with stalls offering artisan products, gift ideas, and gastronomic specialties, in an atmosphere of lights and scents typical of mountain holidays.

Tree lighting and children's songs

The most anticipated moment is the lighting of the Christmas tree, accompanied by the distribution of panettone for everyone. In the afternoon, children from nursery and primary schools, guided by teachers and the music teacher, liven up the square with Christmas carols, an event that involves the entire community.

The concert in church

The day concludes with the traditional Christmas concert in the parish church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Organized by the Pro Loco di Fonzaso APS, the festival is an opportunity to experience the town center and breathe in the authentic Christmas atmosphere of Valbelluna.
