A Christmas of reciprocity. Voices that reach the sky

A tethered hot-air balloon will offer participants the chance to rise above the rooftops of the Ducal Castle in Agliè: each flight can carry two adults and one child (or two children and one adult) in addition to the pilot; children under 4 are not permitted to fly. Booking is required on t. 393.8921826.

At the same time, throughout the village streets and beneath the ancient arcades, there will be entertainment and shows for young and old alike, such as the Made in Honolulu Show with Rafael Sorriso: a clumsy elf will need some extra helpers to complete the task assigned to him by Father Christmas. Laughter guaranteed! Local traders will be serving hot chocolate, mulled wine and hot tea.

At 5.30pm, in the Paglia Hall, the festivities will continue with an aperitif accompanied by a gospel choir.
