In Piazza San Francesco in Prato, the holiday spirit comes alive with the traditional Christmas Markets. In the heart of the historic center, a true Christmas village is created with charming wooden chalets and exhibitor stalls, offering visitors and families a rich assortment of holiday decorations, regional artisanal crafts, and handmade gift ideas. Alongside artistic handicrafts, the event features a large area dedicated to local and Tuscan food and wine, inviting guests to savor traditional sweets like cantucci and artisanal panettone, savory specialties, hearty local soups, and warm mulled wine. Adding to the festive cheer is an entertaining lineup featuring gospel choirs, Christmas carols, live music, performances by street artists and jugglers, nativity scene exhibitions, and creative workshops designed especially for children.
