Narva’s Christmas Village Offers a Festive Atmosphere

 

For eight days, Narva’s Town Hall Square will transform into a magical Christmas world as the traditional Christmas Village opens. The opening ceremony will take place on 20 December at 16:00, when Santa Claus arrives to delight children and adults alike. After the opening, Santa will be available every day until 28 December. Visitors can share their Christmas wishes with him or capture a photo together.

In the atmospheric Christmas Village, you can enjoy steaming mulled wine, delicious festive food, and a wide range of activities designed for the whole family. The Narva Town Hall itself also offers plenty to do. Indoors, various events take place, including film screenings and creative workshops. In the workshops, visitors can make jewellery, handmade paper, Christmas decorations, and beautiful floral arrangements—perfect as gifts or for decorating your home.

For the youngest family members, there’s the chance to meet Santa and enjoy a cheerful Christmas carousel. Additionally, the Lazerzone centre offers special activities for children and teenagers, adding variety to the village’s traditional attractions. Live music is also part of the experience, with multiple concerts featuring local and visiting artists and musicians throughout the event. Up-to-date schedules and more information are available on the Christmas Village festival’s Facebook page.
