Registrations Open for the 2026 Christmas Market

Applications are now open for the traditional Christmas Market in Chaves, a festive space dedicated to seasonal products, handicrafts, and entertainment, promising enjoyment for visitors of all ages.

As part of the “Chaves Christmas 2026” initiative, taking place from 29 November to 31 December, Largo General Silveira will once again become a gathering point for residents, visitors, and tourists, who will have the opportunity to do their Christmas shopping in the traditional wooden stalls. Younger visitors will be able to visit Santa Claus’s House and Workshop, write their letters to Santa, enjoy the synthetic ice rink, ride the Christmas Train and the Mini Ferris Wheel, and experience a truly magical festive atmosphere.

The Christmas Market will feature seven wooden stalls, as well as space for the installation of one or two mobile sales trailers or exhibition and retail units, intended for the display and/or sale of products associated with the Christmas season by entities based in the municipality. Applications may cover a variety of categories, including traditional confectionery, chocolate products, bakery goods, dried fruits, handicrafts, and traditional regional products.

Participation is free of charge, and applications must be submitted by 5:00 p.m. on 9 November 2026 by completing the mandatory application form available on the Municipality’s website, where the participation regulations may also be consulted.

Applications may be submitted by email to [email protected] or delivered in person to the Municipality’s General Registry Office in a sealed envelope bearing the subject:

“Organisation of the 2026 Christmas Market”.
