Christmas Markets in Sardinia 2026: dates and where to find them

For the 2026 Christmas markets in Sassari, as of the date this guide was updated, the official sources consulted do not yet provide a schedule with dates, locations and opening hours.

We’ll update this section as soon as official information becomes available, including where the markets will be set up, when to visit and what activities will accompany the stalls.

In the meantime, our guide to where to park in central Sassari can help you plan your visit to the city. Any specific holiday arrangements should be checked separately.

The Alghero Foundation has published a call for applications for stalls at the 2026 Christmas Markets, aimed at businesses, artisans, local producers and hobbyists.

The dates given are 20 November 2026 to 10 January 2027, but the document describes them as indicative and allows for changes due to organisational needs.

The chalets will be set up in the squares and other areas of the historic centre, in locations selected by the organisers. The planned offering includes crafts, food and wine products, decorations and Christmas items.

Our in-depth article on the Alghero Christmas Markets and their expected dates covers the announcement. Before visiting, check the final schedule, locations and holiday opening times.

In Olbia, the “City of Christmas” event is scheduled from 28 November 2026 to 6 January 2027. The programme includes markets, light installations and events for families.

The Christmas stalls are planned for Via Principe Umberto, along the route that will take in the city centre.

The announced dates cover the entire event: the daily opening hours and any market closures still need to be checked against the detailed schedule. They should therefore not be taken as a guarantee that every stall will be open continuously.

In Cagliari, the city council has announced markets from 1 December 2026 to 6 January 2027.

The areas involved are Piazza Yenne, Corso Vittorio Emanuele II and Piazza del Carmine. The latter will host a Christmas village with chalets, food and drink areas, a play area and an ice-skating rink.

Free shuttle buses have also been announced to make it easier to reach the city centre on market days. The detailed schedule of events will be released later.

Before planning your visit, check for updates from the organisers, especially regarding the opening hours for each day and opening times during the holidays.
