Christmas is just around the corner and next Friday, at 6:30 pm, Matosinhos will be lit up in 88 locations across the municipality, which will kick off the Christmas season and a vast program of activities.
There will be a total of 16 km of lights and Christmas spread across trees, streets, markets, squares and gardens. In Praça Guilherme Pinto there will be a giant tree, 30 metres high, as well as the Christmas Village that will delight children, with the house of Santa Claus and the elves, the enchanted forest, the toy factory, the Christmas train, a carousel, the Ferris wheel, the reindeer and a Christmas market.
The traditional Christmas fair will be held in Jardim Basílio Teles, where there will also be a “tunnel” formed by arches, which will light up in a synchronized rhythm with Christmas music and other visual effects.
This year, shopping vouchers will be awarded to customers of traditional stores, which will reward the customer who makes the most purchases, with daily prizes of 50 euros and a final prize of 500 euros being awarded.
Christmas activities will continue until January 6th.
