Events on Capri

Capri doesn’t really “switch off” in winter: throughout December and into early January, both Capri and Anacapri fill up with Christmas lights, concerts, theatre, markets, family activities, and traditional celebrations. In Capri, many events revolve around “Incanto di Natale” and the kids’ programme “Capri Winter Together”, with highlights in the Piazzetta and cultural venues across town. Anacapri answers with “Le magie del Natale Anacaprese”, a lively mix of community moments, shows, music, and activities for children and seniors, mainly around Piazza Cerio, Villa Rosa, and the Auditorium Paradiso.
