Natale nei Palazzi Barocchi (Christmas in the Baroque Palaces)

Natale nei Palazzi Barocchi transforms the historic centre of Ala into an enchanting Christmas setting framed by the 18th-century architecture of this charming Trentino town. For the occasion, entrance halls, grand salons, and courtyards of ancient noble residences open their doors to the public to host Christmas markets, where artisans and artists display handmade creations, ceramics, festive decorations, and exquisite silk and velvet fabrics. The event features a rich programme of cultural activities, including concerts, exhibitions, street performances, theatrical shows, and creative workshops for children and families. Among the most distinctive highlights are the evening lantern-lit guided tours led by 18th-century costumed re-enactors from the Associazione Vellutai. Traditional local flavours also take centre stage with tasting corners set up in the historic palaces and throughout the town's streets, showcasing Trentino gastronomic delicacies and wines from local cellars.
