Natale a Dolo, Arino e Sambruson
Christmas markets, concerts and the Befana on the Brenta for the holidays in Dolo
About Natale a Dolo
Holidays on the Brenta Canal
The Natale a Dolo, Arino e Sambruson program accompanies the Christmas holidays in the Municipality of Dolo (province of Venice) and its hamlets, along the Brenta Canal. The program runs throughout the Advent and holiday period, until Epiphany, combining events for families, traditional moments, and cultural initiatives.
Markets, concerts, and nativity scenes
The heart of the events are the Christmas markets in Piazza Cantiere and along the streets of the center, with stalls, gift ideas, and specialties. Hot chocolate, tea, and mulled wine are available in front of the Cathedral. The calendar includes Christmas concerts—such as that of the Sambruson Choir—nativity scenes set up in the hamlets, and numerous activities for children.
The arrival of the Befana
The most anticipated moment is the arrival of the Befana on January 6th at the Squero, with the descent of the old woman and, subsequently, the fireworks display that illuminates the Brenta. The entire program is organized by Pro Loco Dolo in collaboration with the Municipality of Dolo.
Natale a Dolo — edition 2026
