The Christmas of Wonders of San Marino protagonist of the long weekend of the Immaculate Conception

"The Christmas of Wonders - An Incredible Journey" returns for the Immaculate Conception long weekend: from 8 to 11 December the charm of Christmas returns, with a long weekend, amidst evocative illuminations, fantastic shows and original attractions.

The four days of festivities will be an unmissable opportunity to experience an unforgettable Christmas with the whole family and to visit the many attractions such as the Polar Park and the Polar Express, which you can board and where the conductor's whistle will begin "An journey incredible” with a fantastic show with magical snowfalls and musical performances.

Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 December will be two days dedicated to fun for the whole family, thanks to the Toy Factory Family Show. A unique production that will immerse young and old in the magical and surreal world of everyday life in the Toy Factory, discovering eccentric characters, elves and little helpers with "magical powers" who prepare the perfect gift to give happiness to all children of the world.
Dancers, acrobats, magicians and special effects will involve spectators in the amusing Christmas atmosphere until they become protagonists of the story itself and rediscover together with the artists of the show the importance of believing in dreams and the deepest meaning of Christmas.

An exclusive show, conceived by Simone Ranieri, with an exceptional cast for a story with a Disney flavor and at the same time with gothic and dreamlike nuances that recall Tim Burton's vision.

 The Christmas of Wonders continues until 8 January with incredible attractions and shows that will enliven the squares and streets of the Old Town of the Republic of San Marino. Complete program of the event on: www.visitsanmarino.com
