Alassio Christmas Town

A festival for young and old alike

Shopping in the boutiques of the old town, with seasonal window displays, the traditional aromas of Christmas, jingle bells, laughing children: from December 7 to January 7, the streets of the old town are transformed into a magical Christmas wonderland.

Artists, jugglers, acrobats and tightrope walkers bring the streets to live with their spectacular performances. In Piazza Matteotti, the stalls of the Alassio Street Food Festival fill the air with the delicious scent of sweet and savoury local delicacies. Among these, we recommend “panino con la ventre”, a distinctive tuna tripe sandwich, as well as “biscette” fritters, famous "Baci” biscuits, “pane del marinario” fruit bread and “gumuletti” jam-filled pastries. Don’t be put off by the names, they are all absolutely delicious!
 
Whilst the adults go for a stroll in search out some gifts, youngsters can have fun in the amusement park in Piazza Partigiani or go ice skating in Piazza della Libertà.
