Mercatino di Natale (Christmas Market)

The Belluno Christmas Market returns to bring the historic town center alive during the winter season, setting up its festive displays in the charming settings of Piazza dei Martiri and Piazza del Duomo. At the foot of historic palaces and surrounding the majestic Christmas tree, traditional wooden chalets offer holiday decorations, woodwork, authentic local handicrafts, and unique handmade gift ideas. Alongside the artisan stalls, the event provides a delightful journey through traditional Venetian and Dolomite culinary specialties. Visitors can savor hearty dishes such as canederli in broth, polenta, roast goat, and Piave cheese, as well as steaming roast chestnuts and seasonal treats like zelten and artisanal panettone, all paired with Prosecco wine and warming drinks. The festive holiday ambiance is complemented by twinkling light displays along the town's alleys and a full lineup of activities for all ages, including a concert in the Cathedral, puppet shows, fairy tale readings, and creative workshops for making Christmas ornaments.
