Christmas is the perfect time of the year to visit the italian region Marche: the atmosphere is enchanting, mountains and hills dress up in winter clothes, naked trees are decorated with lights and the city squares celebrate holidays.
In Marche Christmas time is a widespread holiday, in the small towns, in the countryside, in the harbors and in the larger cities.
Enjoying Christmas in Marche during the holidays can be an unforgettable experience thanks to the many local events that take place in the small borgos. Market stalls, events for kids, roast chestnuts, hot chocolate, smaller and taller Christmas trees, elves and sledges…all these traditions are typical especially in the backcountry area and winter days become rich and joyful for children and adults.
The borgos in Marche have a strong spirit that lasts for centuries and every year enchant more turists coming from local areas but also from abroad. From the Province of Pesaro Urbino to the Province of Ascoli Piceno there are several programs for the month of holiday and we at Marche Country Homes are proud to see our Region bright and shining with thousands of lights and voices.
From November until January it’s the time of Christmas markets (and several other secondary events): every kind of stalls are installed inside the stunning Castle of Gradara (PU) together with exhibitions, elf hunting games and events on food and wine specialties, wooden stands for exhibitors, music and dance in Mombaroccio (PU) and again, cities that turn into a time travel machine as the case of Apiro (MC), a city immersed into the San Clemente Valley that shows Christmas as it used to be a thousand years ago…there are just few of many events that take place in our Region Marche for the citizens and tourists to enjoy Christmas holidays.

Traditions are tied to the territory and the territory is relentlessly tied to traditions. It is a part of ourselves, feeling and showing festive time with energy and passion so that the air is unusually magical, this is the main reason why enjoying Christmas in Marche – just for one day in a small borgo or for the entire holiday, maybe renting a house with fireplace to spend some quality time with your family – is an experience that will certainly hit you and you will for sure long for the next Christmas with much desire.
