From 8 December to 08 January each year, ‘EricèNatale - Il Borgo dei Presepi’ is held, the highlight of the winter calendar in Erice, in the province of Trapani (Sicily).
 

 EricèNatale involves, in all senses, thanks to the majestic spectacle of warm and lively lights, accompanied by magical Christmas sounds, unforgettable events and original attractions. Wrapped in the fog in new, sparkling garments, a series of events take place: the evocative path of nativity scenes, the international exhibition of popular music and instruments ‘Bagpipes from the World’, the New Year's Eve with midnight fireworks in the Piazza, travelling shows, concerts, films and many animations dedicated to children.

Creativity and craftsmanship come together and take shape in the nativity scenes on display in the village. The list of nativity scenes in Erice is full of authentic masterpieces: one of the smallest nativity scenes in the world, the majestic and ever-renewed monumental mechanical nativity scene with dozens of moving characters; there is no shortage of stops and visits to churches to explore the theme of the Nativity and other related traditions.

 From traditional depictions, to authentic contemporary creations manifested in various arts, from musical, to pictorial and handicrafts of various kinds, you will have the opportunity to experience and visit the entire hamlet of Ericino, one of the most beautiful in Italy, and to glimpse its historical buildings and monumental trees; becoming one with the festive atmosphere breathed in the town. We invite you to take a journey with us into the Ericina Christmas culture, immersing yourself in EricèNatale.

The Christmas Markets, set up in the main squares of the village, offer gift ideas, artistic handicraft objects, as well as gastronomy with the rediscovery of local traditional dishes, the most typical and characteristic of the Christmas season. In Piazzetta San Giuliano, the ‘Father Christmas House’ is also generally set up. Classical music concerts in the churches of Erice, itinerant children's activities, and a New Year's Eve concert are the right corollary to an event eagerly awaited by all and now established for many years.
