We invite you to experience the tradition of a European outdoor Christmas market on the Wisconsin Great River Road. The piazza is transformed into a beautiful and lighted market, welcoming guests to shop local artisans and retailers for the holiday season.
In many European countries, it wouldn’t be the holiday season without a visit to a German ‘Weihnachtsmarkt’, a French ‘Marché de Noël’, or an Italian ‘Mercatino di Natale’. The Christmas Market, with food, drink, and seasonal items sold from open-air stalls, is usually held in the town square and is a tradition that dates back centuries.
At Villa Bellezza we recreate this cherished holiday tradition on our own piazza! On Saturdays and Sundays during the holiday season vendors are tucked into our arched porticoes where they share their special and unique treasures with market shoppers.
Create new holiday memories with shopping, along with wine, Italian market foods, and the sights and sounds of the holiday.
