San Severo and the Magic of Christmas

The "San Severo and the Magic of Christmas" 2025 festival, promoted by the Municipality of San Severo, took place from December 8, 2025, to January 6, 2026, enlivening the squares, churches, and historic palaces of the Capitanata city.

The opening, on December 8th, combined the lighting of the giant tree and illuminations on Corso Garibaldi with performances by elementary schools accompanied by the San Severo City Band conducted by Maestro Antonello Ciccone, followed by the "Il Pianoforte Sospeso" concert with Paolo Zanarella and soprano Federica D'Antonino. In the evening, the evocative votive bonfire in honor of the Madonna took place, featuring food stalls, live music, and a pyrotechnic display.

• Concerts in the Galleria Nino Casiglio of Palazzo Celestini and in the city's churches.
• Christmas markets in Piazza Municipio and Piazza della Repubblica.
• Santa Lucia concert with "Le Fave di Santa Lucia".
• Arrival of Santa Claus, living nativity scene, and entertainment for children.

The festival, which was free to attend, confirmed its role as an identity-defining event for the winter holidays in San Severo, blending culture, entertainment, and popular traditions.
