The lights come on and the Christmas celebrations can begin! As has become tradition, at the end of November, Piazza Fracassi in Sant’Angelo comes alive with a huge party involving everyone – adults and children alike – at the foot of the giant Christmas tree.
The festivities kick off with the family-friendly clown show ‘Irina’ by Irene Contadini and old-fashioned games led by Fiorenzo Montalti. This is followed by a concert by the Mirko Casadei Popular Folk Orchestra.
The highlight of the afternoon will be the eagerly awaited switching on of the huge Christmas tree, along with all the town’s festive lights, which will illuminate the festive season.
To add to the festive atmosphere, there will be a wide range of refreshments, including mulled wine, cantarelle, piadina and wine, provided by the associations Vitainsieme, Auser and Uniti per Gatteo.
The event forms part of the packed ‘Natale a Gatteo’ Christmas programme.
