After the great success of the first two editions, Epiphany returns to Piazza Mercato – Toy and Stocking Fair from January 3 to 5, from 11.00:XNUMX to midnight. This symbolic event, the conclusion of the Christmas period in Naples, is promoted and financed by the Department of Tourism and Productive Activities of the Municipality of Naples.
Tradition and Innovation
"It is the third edition of a beautiful fair, dedicated especially to children. A fair that has always been a tradition of our city, closed for decades and that we wanted to resume and has become a cult event of our city", declared the councilor Teresa Armato. The event aims to offer a rich program of events, with numerous toys and musical performances, culminating on January 5 with the White Night.
A Community Event
The president of Municipality 2, Roberto Marino, underlined the importance of the event for the local community: “The Epiphany celebration in Piazza Mercato is an event that celebrates one of the most beloved traditions in Naples, transforming this historic square into a place of celebration and sharing”. The event represents an opportunity to enhance the cultural roots of the city and relaunch local commerce.
Market and Entertainment
In Piazza del Carmine and Piazza Mercato, 54 wooden houses are planned, enriched with toys, sweets and typical products. The atmosphere will be animated by musical performances and recreational activities for children. On January 3 and 4, the Church of Sant'Eligio will host concerts by the city choirs. The three-day celebrations will end with a concert that will see the participation of artists such as Ste, Rosario Miraggio and Francesco Da Vinci. The organization of the event is curated by the Musicant association in collaboration with the Municipality 2, various local associations and natural shopping centers in the area.
