Christmas in Lugano - Natale a Lugano

Christmas in Lugano starts with the lighting of the Christmas tree in Piazza della Riforma on December 1st! From that moment, the heart of the city becomes a bright village, bestowing opportunities for entertainment, musical performances, and surprises until the Epiphany.

The city embraces the magic of Christmas, filling the festive period with cheer and events to suit all ages. The streets and squares of the city centre will be glittering and sparkling and will host the traditional Christmas market, which will be inaugurated on December 1st when the Christmas tree lights are switched on in the Piazza della Riforma.


Over 50 Christmas market stalls will offer a wide range of gift ideas, from handicrafts and decorations to food specialities, and will be open every day until December 24th from 11:00 to 19:00.

Also don't miss the food huts between the Piazza della Riforma and Piazza Manzoni that will offer something to suit all palates with various culinary delights such as bratwurst, pretzels and roasted chestnuts. There is no shortage of hot, mulled wine and you'll find plenty of stands with panettone, chocolate, sausages, potatoes with melted raclette cheese, and a variety of craft beers and wines. Note that many of the food and drink stalls will remain open until January 6th, 2020.

Families, on the other hand, can have fun in the Christmas Village, which will be offering musical entertainment, amusements and activities for children.


Don't miss the Coca Cola Christmas truck on Sunday, December 22nd, 2019 from 10:00 to 20:00 in Piazza Manzoni (fountain side).

Thanks to the initiative of the Società dei Mercanti of Lugano, the legendary Coca-Cola Christmas truck will be parked on the lakefront and will bring with it a multitude of gifts and numerous other surprises for the whole family. Come meet the funny, red-dressed, bearded Santa who became one of the symbols of Christmas thanks to the advertising campaign commissioned to the designer Haddon Sundlom in 1931 by the American Coca-Cola Company of Atlanta.

New Year's Eve is also a date to be remembered, with a big party in Piazza della Riforma to welcome the New Year in together. A special evening with lots of music and entertainment. Stay tuned for more!
