Canale di Tenno Christmas Market

About the event

The Christmas market takes place in the medieval village of Canale di Tenno, one of "I Borghi più Belli d'Italia" (Italy's most beautiful villages). Stalls in the alleys and courtyards sell handmade art, jewellery and ceramics by local artisans and artists.

Each year, a few weeks before Christmas, Canale di Tenno hosts a representation of another Italian village for an exchange of experiences.

The Centro di Sviluppo Locale "Aldo Gorfer", in the heart of the village, is open every Sunday during the market from 10:00 to 17:00, with free workshops and readings for children.

The market uses natural decorations and LED lighting, biodegradable dishware, and involves local associations in its activities. A shuttle runs from the lake parking area.

About Tenno

Tenno is a scattering of small villages on the hillside above Riva, between vineyards and olive groves at the foot of Monte Misone. The battlemented castle, sacked by French troops in the 18th century, still watches the old road from the lake to the Giudicarie, and below it the fortified hamlet of Frapporta is entered through an arched gate.
