The Sunday Christmas markets in Piazza Mercato in Marghera
Marghera is a populous district on the mainland of the municipality of Venice, developed around its square and the industrial area of Porto Marghera. During the festive season, its Piazza Mercato hosts the traditional Christmas markets, a Sunday event that brings the Christmas spirit to the square in a popular, neighbourhood style.
The markets take place every Sunday, from mid-November until January. The stalls offer crafts, objects, products, and gift ideas, in a route that enlivens the square and invites festive strolls. It is a simple and family-friendly occasion to experience the neighbourhood Christmas, away from the crowds of the historic lagoon centre.
Although lacking the spectacularity of the markets in the centre of Venice or Piazza Ferretto in Mestre, the Marghera markets represent a living tradition of the Venetian mainland. Their Sunday schedule makes them a recurring event for the residents of the district and nearby towns throughout the Christmas period.
The Marghera Christmas Markets 2026 liven up Piazza Mercato every Sunday, from November 13, 2026, to January 20, 2027. The stalls offer crafts, objects, and gift ideas, in a neighbourhood atmosphere that accompanies the entire festive period on the Venetian mainland.
Opening hours for each Sunday will be announced by local organisers.
Marghera is connected to Mestre and Venice by ACTV buses; Piazza Mercato is in the heart of the district. By car, use the local car parks.
The markets are held on Sundays during the Christmas period. For precise dates and times, it is advisable to check the channels of the Municipality of Venice and local associations.
