From Saturday 7 December 2024 to Monday 6 January 2025, Premilcuore will be transformed to celebrate Christmas with a programme full of events that opens with the lighting of the Christmas Tree and the luminarie.
The windows of the Borgo Antico will host an evocative Advent Calendar: every evening, until Christmas, a new window will light up, revealing a Christmas art installation.
.
During the weekends, the village will come alive with workshops, activities in the shops and, at the Casentino Forest National Park Visitor Centre, there will be games and musical narratives for children. The festival will continue with itinerant performances by the Band of Carters and the Musicians of San Crispino, who will bring cheer and Christmas spirit to the streets of the centre.
The programme of Christmas events also includes many other initiatives:
25 December: Grand Christmas Bingo.
28 December: Christmas concert by the Band of Carters of Premilcuore and special concerts organised by the Music Academy Association and Soprano Wilma Vernocchi.
January 5: ‘Aspettando la Befana’ (Waiting for the Epiphany) with the Befanotti di Premilcuore who will bring the traditional songs of the Pasquella along the streets of the village and in the hamlets.
.
In addition, to involve everyone in the magic of the festivities, a competition with prizes will be organised for the best Christmas decorations: the prize will be awarded to the most creative shop and to the family with the most atmospheric decoration of terraces, balconies, windows and gardens.
A Christmas full of emotions awaits you in Premilcuore!
