Santa’s Village and Befana in the Square

29 November 2025 - 06 January 2026 , Piazza Municipale (Ferrara)

In Piazza Municipale, Christmas truly begins with Santa’s Village and the Befana in the Square – an enchanted setting designed to make both children and adults dream.
Among sparkling lights and colourful little houses, kids can enjoy a magical experience with Santa, his elves, and many characters ready to make every moment unforgettable.

Inside Santa’s House, decorated like the most beautiful fairy tales, young visitors can deliver their letters and take a souvenir photo with the most eagerly awaited figure of the festive season.
There are also refreshment stands where you can warm up with hot chocolate or mulled wine, and enjoy seasonal sweets and specialities.

On 6 January 2026, the square will come alive with the arrival of the Befana, who will hand out stockings filled with sweets to all children before the traditional burning of the giant puppet, symbolising a new beginning and bidding farewell to the year gone by.
