From November 14 to December 27, 2026, the historic center of Pergine Valsugana welcomes the festive festival 'Christmas in Pergine | Stories, Legends and Ancient Flavors'. Across the town's squares and alleys—from Piazza Gavazzi and Via Pennella to Piazza Serra, Piazza Fruet, and Piazza Municipio—visitors can wander a magical holiday route lined with twenty-one wooden chalets showcasing handcrafted goods, paintings, lace, wood carvings, handmade dolls, and mountain honey, nestled alongside traditional local shops and traditional wooden games hosted by the Pro Loco. One of the most anticipated highlights takes place on Sunday, December 13, featuring two runs (at 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM) of the Krampus di Primiero, ready to enliven the historic center with traditional wooden masks, shaggy furs, and the rumbling clatter of cowbells. Festivities kick off on Saturday, November 14 at 4:30 PM in Piazza Municipio with the Banda Sociale di Pergine, Lucio Gardin, and the Zampognaro Lagaro Duo. Weekends bring live music with 'Venerdì Live' in Piazza Fruet and Saturday cooking shows led by chef Paolo Betti with the Cuochi dell'Alleanza. Food lovers can head straight to Piazzetta dei Gusti e dei Sapori to savor authentic Trentino specialties including polenta, canederli, tortel di patate, strauben, apple fritters, hot chocolate, and mulled wine. For younger guests, creative crafts and cooking workshops await inside the Igloo in Piazza Serra, along with special meet-and-greets with Santa Claus in Piazza Municipio on December 19, 20, 23, and 24.
