Loano Christmas Moments

There is a special time of the year when Loano changes its appearance, welcoming winter with an embrace of lights and sounds: it is the “Christmas Moments”, the grand schedule of events that transforms our town into an enchanted village by the sea each year. It is not just a calendar of events, but an invitation to experience the holidays through experiences that “feel good.”.

The city route lights up with the unveiling of artistic illuminations and spectacular projections on historic buildings, marking the beginning of a journey through the excellence of the area. The centerpiece of the activities is the traditional market with a northern European flavor, where among the little wooden houses you can discover treasures of handicrafts and enjoy local street-food delicacies. This festive atmosphere envelops every corner of Loano, extending to the areas dedicated to entertainment with the rink and the attractions for the little ones, without forgetting the cultural depth of the gospel concerts, of art exhibitions and literary presentations.

The highlight of the celebrations is bidding farewell to the old year and welcoming the new. On New Year's Eve, Loano gathers in the square for a big live music event: an engaging concert with guests and DJ sets that transforms the city into one big open-air party. The festivities then continue on the first day of the year with the traditional fireworks display from the pier; a choreography of lights and colors painting the sky above the sea, providing an unforgettable setting to start the new year with awe and wonder.

Alongside the fun, Loano jealously guards its roots through the’route of the Nativity Scenes in churches and oratories, the evocative living nativity scene and the brave winter coziness of swimming, events that each year testify to the unbreakable bond between the city and its traditions.
