A Christmas for the whole family
The new edition of EricèNatale 2024 brings with it the magic of music, a Christmas to discover and experience with the whole family.
The Christmas atmosphere will be enhanced by the presence of the itinerant Sicilian bagpipers who, with their melodies, will accompany visitors along a path of over 30 artisanal nativity scenes, each with its own story to tell.
The village of Erice will also host a living nativity scene, which testifies to the liveliness of the Sicilian nativity scene tradition and the ability of local communities to keep the memory of the Nativity alive.
The Borgo dei Presepi is enriched with a top-level musical program.
The festival will animate the most suggestive places of Erice. An initiative that confirms the cultural vocation of the medieval village, with artists of national and international caliber.
The event was born from the collaboration between the Municipality of Erice, MEMA Mediterranean Music Association, the Amici della Musica Palermo, the Amici della Musica di Cefalù and the Municipality of Castelbuono.
Tickets: from 3 to 8 euros
