Santa Claus Village

The 2025 edition

The Santa Claus Village returned to the Villa Comunale of Melito di Napoli on December 20, 2025, confirming itself as the highlight of the city's Christmas program. The park on Via Lavinaio was filled with families for an afternoon of games: a Christmas village set up among the trees, bouncy castles for the little ones, and themed entertainment with music and performers.

The event was part of the «Aggregazione Comune» project, coordinated by the Municipality's Social Services Department and included in the 2025-2026 Metropolitan Events Calendar promoted by the Metropolitan City of Naples, which awarded Melito a total grant of one hundred thousand euros split over the 2025 and 2026 years.

The village was part of a busy calendar: the lighting of the tree and school initiatives in early December, the Christmas concert on December 26, and, to close the festivities, the Befana Village on January 6, 2026, again at the Villa Comunale with a musical parade, themed masks, and gift distribution. All events were free to attend.
