From December 6, 2025, Albenga will turn on its magic and officially kick off the brightest period of the year.

 

 

The lighting that kicks off the party – December 6, 2025

We start with a great classic that everyone is waiting for:

  • Lighting of the lights that surround the historic center

  • The exciting video mapping on the Civic Tower , which "comes to life" and tells stories and curiosities about Albenga but above all about Santa Claus's Elves' Laboratory and will reveal how the gifts intended for all children are created.

  • The lighting of the large tree in Piazza San Michele, accompanied by a captivating gospel choir

A start that makes your eyes shine, at any age.
