About Mercatino di Natale

With the arrival of December, Piazza Italia in Alzano Lombardo, Val Seriana, dresses up for the Christmas Market. The lighting of the Christmas lights and the inauguration of the nativity scene kick off the most magical time of the year, with stalls, entertainment for children, and the warm atmosphere of the holidays. Organized by the Comunità delle Botteghe (Community of Shops) together with the Municipality, it is the event that opens the town's Christmas celebrations, in the heart of the province of Bergamo.

Christmas lights up Alzano

In Alzano Lombardo, in Val Seriana (province of Bergamo), the Christmas Market traditionally marks the start of the holiday season. The heart of the event is Piazza Italia, where the lighting of the Christmas lights and the inauguration of the nativity scene draw crowds of all ages for the community's first Christmas embrace.

Stalls and entertainment

Along the square, there are stalls selling crafts and local products, while the atmosphere is enlivened by shows and entertainment for children, curated in recent years by animators from Teatro Chapati. It's an opportunity to stroll among the lights, discover gift ideas, and taste seasonal delicacies.

A town festival

The Christmas Market is organized by the Comunità delle Botteghe (Community of Shops) together with the Municipality of Alzano Lombardo, an example of collaboration between traders and the administration to liven up the town center during Advent.
