Laives’ Nativity Scene Tradition

Tradition & festivals 12/5/2017 - 1/6/2025
During the Advent season and up until Epiphany on January 6th, the town of Laives/Leifers transforms into an atmospheric nativity scene paradise.

Nativity Scene Trail from 30.11.2024 to 06.01.2025
In the town center, along the streets Via Kennedy and Via Pietralba, shops decorate their windows with lovingly handcrafted nativity scenes selected and provided by the "Leiferer Krippenfreunde" association. This nativity scene trail invites visitors to discover the diversity and creativity of nativity scene culture and immerse themselves in the festive spirit. The route of the nativity scene trail and the list of participating shops can be found at www.facebook.com/presepelaives.

Nativity Scene Exhibition on 7.-8. and 14.-15.12.2024
Additionally, the "Leiferer Krippenfreunde" organize an impressive nativity scene exhibition in the exhibition hall at Via Pietralba 29. This takes place on the third and fourth Advent weekends and will be opened this year on December 8th at 10 o'clock with a ceremonial blessing of the nativity scenes. The exhibition offers the opportunity to admire the craftsmanship and dedication of the nativity scene creators up close and to discuss their work with them. All information about the nativity scene exhibition can also be found at www.facebook.com/presepelaives.
