About Waiting for Christmas

In December, Ghedi dresses up for the holidays with Aspettando Natale, the Christmas market and town square festival organized every year by the Pro Loco. Between Piazza Roma and via Repubblica, stands of hobbyists and associations, Santa's House, mulled wine, bread and sausage, and entertainment for children create the Christmas atmosphere. An event that warms the winter and brings together the community of the Bresciana plain in anticipation of the holidays.

The Christmas atmosphere in Ghedi

Aspettando Natale con la Pro Loco is the event that every December brings the festive mood to the center of Ghedi (Province of Brescia). Organized by the Pro Loco of Ghedi, the Christmas market and town square festival animate Piazza Roma and via Repubblica, transforming them into a path of lights, scents, and Christmas traditions.

Market, Santa Claus, and winter flavors

The day offers all the ingredients for a Christmas celebration:

  • Stands of hobbyists and associations with gift ideas and artisanal products;
  • Santa's House for the joy of the little ones;
  • Mulled wine and bread and sausage, flavors of the Bresciana winter;
