A Christmas of tradition, street artists, music and theater. The “Enchanted Christmas 2021” was presented on Tuesday morning, November 23, at Palazzo Rinaldi, an event scheduled from November 26 to January 6 for the most anticipated holidays of the year.
The shows will in most cases be surprise events, including performers, musicians and traveling theatrical pieces: a wide program from the center to the neighborhoods, capable of catapulting citizens, visitors and families into the traditional Christmas atmosphere. The traveling performances will feature dancers, artists, musicians, choral groups, marching bands, actors and theater groups: all the shows will be held between 3 and 7 pm between Isola della Pescheria, Ponte dei Buranelli, Santa Maria dei Battuti, Loggia dei Cavalieri, Piazza Rinaldi and Piazza dei Signori. In the historic center, on the water and in the neighborhoods, lights and trees of light will return as well as the now traditional Loggia Incantata, designed and built by Michele Crema for the MC3 Design studio, which this year will host the Village and Santa’s House: every weekend, in fact, the children’s idol will welcome the children for the delivery of the letter or for a photo (Saturday, Sunday and holidays from 10 to 13 and from 15 to 20).
In a Treviso dressed up there will also be space for the new Christmas Post Office, with two elves who will travel to the city to collect the letters. The wishes, intentions or simple Christmas messages of the little ones can be posted in the Santa Claus Box located in Piazza dei Signori, near the monumental tree. In January, the 10 most beautiful letters will be chosen: just enter your phone number to receive, in case of victory, a special gift.
ENCHANTED CHRISTMAS-2
Christmas Run
Enchanted Christmas 2021 will experience its first highlight on Wednesday 8 December with the Christmas Run, a 5 km free-pace walk that will see participants dressed as Santa Claus along the streets of the City to breathe the magic of the holidays and support Advar and the City Foundation della Speranza: the event will be open to people of all ages, with an eye on the little ones. The Christmas Run can accommodate up to two thousand participants: adults, with registration, will receive the Santa Claus dress that they will wear during the event, while children and teenagers will receive the characteristic red cap as a gift.
Tree in Piazza dei Signori
Also this year the lighting of the monumental tree, donated by the Municipality of Brunico and with the support of Volksbank will take place on a surprise day and time. The tree will be customized, thanks to the precious support of Coin, with smart lights designed by Twinkly, capable of reproducing animations and extraordinary lighting effects. On the occasion of the access, 50 dancers will gather in Piazza dei Signori for an artistic flashmob. The event will be filmed and will give life to the traditional video greeting of the City of Treviso.
Buskers
Among the street artists who will perform in the city on weekends there will be Candy Candy, two dancing candy canes, the Elves of Wishes between stilts and strange bicycles, The Snow Lords, elves break dance dancers, Ice King and Snow Lady, able to improvise snow on stilts.

Unusual Trio will instead play contemporary pieces, arranged in an acoustic version both vocally and instrumentally. Voices, guitar and percussion will thus create a unique and engaging atmosphere. The Funkasin Street Band will bring a traveling and non-stop show with 12 wind instruments and three percussions for a real street parade. And again: the vocal group Solinsei con brand
