Christmas in Padua for all families is at the “Eremitani Village” in Piazza Eremitani, a magical place where girls and boys can meet Santa Claus and shop at the Christmas market. This year marks the 11th edition of the Eremitani Village, organized by Confcommercio Ascom Padova in collaboration with the Chamber of Commerce and Venicepromex. It will host numerous artisans with a wide selection of products: macramé jewelry, Christmas items, gloves, hats, scarves, leather goods, herbal teas, almond biscuits, nougat, spreads, pickles, vegetables in oil, and coffee.
The Village will also be the ideal place for a tasty break: you will be able to find apple punch (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), hot chocolate, mulled wine, hot sandwiches, fritters, cicchetti, octopus and “folpette”, Genoese specialties, Belgian coccoretti and strudel.
In the Village you’ll find: Santa’s House – the Christmas Market – the Traditional Carousels
On November 29th and 30th, the association will welcome children to Santa’s house for a workshop on making Christmas decorations: little animals, angels, reindeer, and garlands. The creative reuse technique will give new life to everyday materials and objects. There will also be a workshop dedicated to making owls, small characters made from recycled materials and easy to make.
A special event is scheduled for Saturday, December 6th, when Santa Claus is expected to arrive, starting at 3:00 PM. Santa Claus will walk through the historic center before arriving at his house in Piazza Eremitani to welcome all the children with their letters.
