Delta del Po

From 6 December 2025 to 11 January 2026 Argenta comes alive with initiatives for the Christmas period. The ice rink in Piazza Garibaldi and numerous initiatives in collaboration with local associations are back.

From 6 December the ice rink opens with new access methods compared to previous years.

Numerous and always active associations will take the field for festive initiatives: A.I.L., Avis Argenta, Telethon, Tango&cash, and Club Alpino Italiano will take turns for entertainment, gastronomy, and fund-raising initiatives in the city centre. The Leo Club will dedicate itself to Father Christmas's little house, where it is possible to send letters and book home delivery of presents, while the Polisportiva Gioco e Vita, in collaboration with other associations, will organise the traditional event for the Epiphany on 6 January, with music, sweets and entertainment for children.

For the feast of the town's patron saint, the evocative torchlight procession of St Nicholas and the mistletoe, promoted by Trigallia - Celtic Cultural Association and Soelia spa, also returns. The programme for 6 December includes a meeting and departure from Via Trieste at 4.30 p.m. for the classic parade through the town centre. Stalls with typical apple products, hot drinks and mistletoe will be set up in Piazza Garibaldi.
