The festive season in Portonovi officially begins on Saturday, December 12, at 6 PM at Marina Square, and everyone is invited to be there for the first lights of the holidays. The evening opens with the Tree Lighting Ceremony, accompanied by a children's choir whose festive songs will set the mood for the weeks ahead. Once the tree lights up, the season is officially on.
Right after, the ice skating rink opens with a skating performance on the ice, while children's animators keep the youngest guests entertained and the Ice Queen offers candies. At the same time, the Festive Market opens for the first time this season, with 10 houses offering seasonal treats and warm drinks.
The celebration continues into the night with a concert by TOC Live Band, who will bring energy to the square and mark the start of six weeks of events, music and family programmes. Come early, find a good spot near the tree and share the first festive evening of the season with friends and family by the sea.
From December 12 to January 24, Marina Square becomes the heart of the festive season in Portonovi. The ice skating rink is open every day from 10 AM to 10 PM, the Festive Market welcomes visitors on weekdays from 4 PM to 10 PM and on weekends from 11 AM to 10 PM, and festive decorations and Santa's Mailbox corner bring the holiday spirit to every corner of the square. Each day of the week has its own programme, so there is always a reason to come back.
Entrance is free of charge.
Paid parking is available.
