Christmas and New Year on the Sorrento Coast

Christmas & New Year 2026/27

Christmas and New Year on the Sorrento Coast

From Vico Equense to Massa Lubrense: Christmas events, markets, nativity scenes, New Year's Eve dinners and parties in the six towns of the Sorrento Coast.

In December the Sorrento Coast changes its look: the old town streets light up, nativity scenes return to churches and squares, markets fill the evenings and the scent of struffoli and zeppole drifts out of the pastry shops. It is the most intimate season of the year, far from the summer crowds, with the Bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius as a backdrop.

Here you will find Christmas and New Year on the Sorrento Coast, town by town: holiday events up to Epiphany, New Year's Eve dinners in restaurants, stay packages in hotels and tips to plan your days. Pick a town or browse the full calendar.
