About Natale InCanto

Natale InCanto is the grand Christmas festival of Anguillara Sabazia, a charming village overlooking Lake Bracciano in the Province of Rome. For over a month, from early December through Epiphany, the historic center and the Ponton dell'Elce lakeside come alive with festive lights, craft markets, church concerts, gospel performances, choirs, a Santa Claus Village, and food and wine trails showcasing the flavors of Lazio. A widespread, free program designed for families, promoted by the Municipality and the local Pro Loco.

Christmas in Anguillara Sabazia

Natale InCanto is the widespread Christmas festival that brings Anguillara Sabazia to life, one of the most picturesque villages overlooking Lake Bracciano, in the Province of Rome. For about a month, from early December until the Epiphany on January 6th, the medieval historic center and the Ponton dell'Elce lakeside transform into a journey of lights, music, and traditions, with a packed calendar of free events designed for residents and visitors alike.

Markets, lights, and the Santa Claus Village

The heart of the event is the Christmas market, which stretches between Ponton dell'Elce and the streets of the historic village, particularly Via del Molo. Stalls offer handicrafts, local products, and gift ideas, while festive lights and the lighting of the tree in Piazza del Molo mark the start of the celebrations. For the little ones, the Santa Claus Village is set up, featuring entertainment and themed activities.

  • Fuori Porta Market at Ponton dell'Elce, featuring local crafts and flavors
  • Festive lights and tree lighting in Piazza del Molo
  • Santa Claus Village for children and families
  • Markets in the historic center along Via del Molo

Concerts and sacred music

An important part of the program is dedicated to music: the churches of Anguillara, from the Church of San Francesco to the Collegiate Church and the Regina Pacis Church, host Christmas concerts, choral festivals, charity events, and gospel concerts with international groups. The local folkloric band accompanies various moments of the festivities, blending popular tradition with the Christmas repertoire.

Flavors of Lazio and traditions

The food and wine dimension is not to be missed: in the historic center, a trail through the wine cellars and the flavors of Lazio comes to life, with tastings of typical local products. Closing the program, according to tradition, is the Living Tombola of the Epiphany, a moment of collective celebration deeply felt by the community.

An event by the Municipality and the Pro Loco

Natale InCanto is organized by the Municipality of Anguillara Sabazia together with the Pro Loco Anguillara Sabazia 2007 A.P.S. and local associations, with the aim of enhancing the village and its view of Lake Bracciano during the holiday season. Participation in the events is free, and the festival represents one of the best opportunities to discover Anguillara in the heart of winter, amidst Christmas atmospheres, culture, and conviviality.
