The Christmas magic of ‘Forli che Brilla’ will be back in Piazza Saffi and in the streets of the historic centre, from 8 December 2024 to 6 January 2025!
A rich programme of entertainment and shows for an audience of all ages, dedicated to Roald Dahl’s masterpiece ‘The Chocolate Factory’ .
The Christmas Factory will be a journey through chocolate, sweets and magical settings, toys, worlds to discover and adventures to experience!
The traditional videomapping in Piazza Saffi, which will start on 8 December with the lighting of the Christmas tree, will be accompanied by many attractions that will make the Christmas atmosphere even more intense. These include the ice skating rink, the merry-go-round with horses, and the wooden houses of the Christmas Fair; while the entire centre of Forlì will shine with illuminations of all shapes and kinds.
In Piazzetta della Misura, the ‘Magical Christmas Village’ will be set up, a space consisting of several themed corners where Father Christmas will welcome children, and the Crystal Little House, inside which creative workshops, games, shows and themed activities for children will take place. Father Christmas will be present to read the thousands of letters received and have his photo taken in his traditional clothes.
Forlì che Brilla Music Edition will also transform the historic centre into a real stage, where bands, musicians and young talents will perform, bringing their great passion for music to Piazzetta San Crispino and the Orselli gardens.
This year, linked to the chosen theme of the Chocolate Factory, there will be a great new feature: ‘La Caccia al Biglietto d’oro’ (The Hunt for the Golden Ticket), a lottery in which families and children can participate, to win great prizes drawn by Willy Wonka on Epiphany Day.
Finally, on 6 January, the incredible Christmas festival will end with the big party dedicated to the Befana, who will fly over the luminous square giving sweets to all the children.
