One of the most iconic Christmas events in the Algarve that marks the beginning of the holiday season at the resort, the Vale do Lobo Christmas Market offers a weekend of family, shopping, and entertainment on Saturday and Sunday, December 2 and 3, from 10am to 5.30pm.
“It’s the most wonderful time of the year”, and Vale do Lobo’s Christmas Market is back for its 13th edition, marking the perfect start to the festive season.
Free to attend, the Vale do Lobo Christmas Market will be held across the Parque do Golfe complex, Vale do Lobo Auditorium, and the adjacent outdoor gardens, “ensuring a warm and unique ambiance suitable for all weather conditions, making it the ultimate celebration and socialization spot”, say organisers.
“Designed with families in mind, this annual market is the perfect place to immerse yourself in the holiday spirit. Explore fantastic gift options, indulge in gourmet food and wine, and enjoy live music and entertainment suitable for all ages.”
This year’s market promises to be a remarkable edition, setting a new record in terms of exhibitors and visitors.
The market will feature numerous local exhibitors offering a wide range of products to cater to various tastes and preferences, including wines, gourmet food, crafts, ceramics, paintings, fashion, jewellery, beauty products, sweets, regional products, flowers, toys, and more.
Since its inception, the Vale do Lobo Christmas Market has been a highly anticipated event for both the resort’s resident community and visitors. It offers an opportunity for fundraising for the Wolf Valley Charity Fund, one of the most prominent charity organisations in the region, founded in 1999, with nearly 25 years of dedicated service. Funds raised from this event go on to support local social causes in need.
In addition, an entertainment programme has been created for children to complement the extensive market area, including Christmas music, various children’s entertainment activities, and live music. Delicious meals, hot snacks, and refreshments will be available throughout the day, courtesy of Algarve Fine Food.
