About Soave Paese dei Presepi
Soave dresses up for Christmas
Every year, from the Immaculate Conception until mid-January, Soave (Verona) transforms into a large, widespread nativity scene. Soave Paese dei Presepi e le Magie del Natale is a journey of faith, art, history, and community that crosses the entire Scaliger village, organized by the Municipality of Soave and the Department of Tourism with the Pro Loco and the support of the Veneto Region.
Nativity Scenes and Christmas Park
Along the streets of the center and up to the hamlets of Costeggiola, Castelcerino, Fittà, and Castelletto, dozens of nativity scenes are set up, while the Parco della Rimembranza hosts the Soave Christmas Park: Ferris wheel, Christmas train, Santa Claus Village, ice rink, and illuminations. Nativity scene and diorama exhibitions complete the route in the village churches.
A fairytale village
With the illuminated Scaliger Castle and medieval walls, Soave at Christmas is one of the most evocative destinations in the province of Verona for those seeking the festive atmosphere.
