The magic of Christmas returns to Elvas with the Elvas Cidade Natal 2026 initiative, taking place from November 27 to January 6, promising to liven up the Historic Center.

Registrations for the Christmas Fair, one of the main events of the Municipality of Elvas's Christmas program, are now open. The event aims to transform the heart of the Historic Center into a space for gathering, entertainment, and tradition.
For several weeks, the historic streets and squares of Elvas, a UNESCO World Heritage City since 2012, will be filled with more light, color, and entertainment. Spaces such as the Tower of Dreams, Santa's House, the Elves' House, and the Ice Rink, along with carousels, will create a special atmosphere for locals and visitors.
The Christmas Fair, located in Praça da República and Rua da Cadeia, will feature stands for the exhibition and sale of products, crafts, and gastronomy, boosting local commerce and the economy.
This initiative combines heritage, tradition, culture, and Christmas spirit, making Elvas Cidade Natal a distinctive experience that attracts thousands of visitors.
