About Saint Lucia's Market

In Bergamasca tradition, Saint Lucia's Day is the most beloved by children, and in Seriate, it announces the arrival of Christmas with its market. In Piazza Donatori di Sangue, hobbyists, artisans, and producers offer creations, typical products, sweets, and street food, alongside creative workshops, Christmas music, and shows for the little ones. An event that fills the town center with lights and atmosphere, in anticipation of the holidays.

Saint Lucia and the anticipation of Christmas

The Saint Lucia's Market - Waiting for Christmas is the event that in Seriate, in the province of Bergamo, opens the holiday season. Organized by the Culture Office and the Library of the Municipality of Seriate, it takes place in Piazza Donatori di Sangue and is linked to the figure of Saint Lucia, who in Bergamasca tradition is the most awaited holiday for children, even more than Christmas itself.

Craftsmanship, flavors, and creativity

Among the market stalls, you'll find creations by hobbyists and artisans, typical regional products, sweets, and street food offerings, accompanied by craft beer. For the little ones, there are creative workshops, while Christmas music and shows liven up the square, creating the right atmosphere for the anticipation of the holidays.

A growing tradition

Now in its seventh edition, the market has become a fixed event on Seriate's Christmas calendar. An opportunity to stroll among the lights, do some early Christmas shopping, and experience with the community the charm of a tradition, that of Saint Lucia, deeply rooted in the culture of the Bergamasca region.
