Pacentro Christmas Markets

The tenth edition of the Pacentro Christmas Markets was held on December 7 and 8, 2025, concluding on the day of the Immaculate Conception. The historic center of the village, one of the Most Beautiful Villages in Italy, was transformed into an enchanted place with over fifty stalls set up in wooden chalets and within the doorways of historic homes around Piazza Umberto I.

The stalls offered local crafts—nativity scenes, ceramics, wooden, glass, and stone objects—alongside typical Abruzzo food and wine specialties. For families, there was no shortage of Santa's House, elves, children's entertainment, live music, and street performers. The edition attracted thousands of visitors, providing a significant boost to the local economy and showcasing the region's producers and artisans.
