Christmas in Lazise 2026: markets on the lakefront

Natale a Lazise turns the medieval village into a Christmas village, between Piazza Vittorio Emanuele and the Lungolago Marconi, with wooden stalls selling crafts and food, festive lights, a nativity scene in the church of San Nicolò and, in recent editions, an ice rink in Parco Prà del Principe. It’s a good stop for families and anyone visiting Lake Garda in winter, easy to reach on foot from the centre and the lakefront.

In the 2025-2026 edition, used here as a reference for the event’s usual format, the markets ran from 21 November to 6 January: weekends only until 20 December, then every day until 6 January, 10am to 7pm. The 2026 dates are not yet official at the time of writing: check the Comune di Lazise website.

The programme also includes street food, concerts and entertainment, which vary from year to year: check the official calendar closer to the date for up-to-date details.
