Christmas Market in Arco
Arco is a charming destination in every season. For those who would also like to experience its Christmas atmosphere — strolling through the historic lanes, enjoying local traditions, and choosing gifts beneath the decorated tree — we recommend visiting in the weeks around Christmas.
If you want to enjoy the Christmas spirit in a peaceful atmosphere – strolling, savouring, pausing, anticipating, choosing gifts – Arco is the place to visit in the weeks before and after Christmas. The traditional stalls and wooden huts line the squares and alleyways, offering not just wonderful gift ideas for friends, family and – why not! – even yourself, but also all sorts of lovely, typical items to try. The house façades up before the high rock walls that soar into the twilight form a colourful backdrop to an equally colourful supporting programme, one that includes street performances, concerts and petting zoos. There are magic shows, nativity scenes and creative workshops that will delight young and old alike. And there is so much more than mulled wine to enjoy at the Christmas market – as Arco offers plenty of local specialities and Christmas treats.
In Arco, the Christmas initiatives involve associations, schools, and volunteers, creating participatory activities and installations.
Events dedicated to families and children, such as the “Little Ones’ New Year” and Red Cross support points, make the experience inclusive.
The Family Services map highlights the local area and community, combining tradition, culture, and everyday life.
