The most magical time of the year is here, and the city of Este welcomes you with a calendar full of initiatives that will excite young and old:
Ice Skating Rink: a sparkling rink to glide through emotions, from November 22, 2025, to January 18, 2026, in Piazza Maggiore.
Craft Market: unique and original creations for special gifts
Carousel: a ride that will make children's eyes shine
Alpini Hut: a warm and tasty break with authentic flavors
Artists along the streets of the center: smiles, performances, and a festive atmosphere that envelops every corner of the city.
From December 20, 2025, to January 11, 2026, one of the most enchanting appointments of the Este Christmas will also return for the third consecutive year: The Nativity Scene of Porta Vecchia.
A work that enchants with its unique scenery, reflected in the waters of the Bisatto canal, right in front of the historic Civic Tower. A place where tradition, art, and a festive atmosphere blend to create unforgettable emotions: a nativity scene that mirrors on the water, creating plays of light and suggestive reflections, in a historical and fascinating setting: the Old Gate, a symbol of the City, an initiative that celebrates the Christmas tradition and enhances the heart of Este.
