From 14 November 2026 to 6 January 2027, Taormina hosts the Christmas programme "Natale a Taormina 2026… Tutta un'altra Storia", involving the historic centre and the hamlets of Trappitello, Mazzeo and Mastrissa. The opening is set for 14 November at 18:30 in Piazza IX Aprile, with the switching on of the lights that kicks off almost two months of events: scenic installations, Christmas trees, shows, concerts, entertainment for children and families, living nativity scenes and markets. Highlights include the Casa di Babbo Natale set up at Palazzo Duchi di Santo Stefano and selfie spots spread between the centre and the hamlets. The initiative is promoted by the Comune di Taormina.
