Magico Natale a Cefalù is child-friendly too. The municipal administration has put together a rich calendar of activities for little ones and their families. It will be fantastic to spend a few hours at Santa Claus’s House, listening to fairy tales and stories under the tree, or to enjoy popcorn and candy floss while strolling through Santa’s Village. What better occasion, then, to plan your holiday in Cefalù?

Besides the general programme, Magico Natale a Cefalù also has a dedicated programme for children and their families. A chance to spend the festive season in a cheerful spirit, with particular attention to the needs of the youngest. Here are all the events dedicated to them.
