Brasília is preparing to experience an unforgettable Christmas in 2023, with a diverse program, always with dazzling decorations for this magical time of year. Several regions of the city will host celebrations that promise to enchant the population, providing moments of joy and fellowship for children, young people and adults, with a varied program full of surprises, to please all tastes and ages.

Check out some of the main Christmas attractions in Brasília:

Esplanade of Ministries

The city's main landmark, the Esplanada dos Ministérios is the first highlight of the GDF's decorations in 2023, starting with the already traditional Santa Claus Village. Dedicated to children, the Village will feature Santa Claus's House, in addition to offering Christmas workshops, artificial snow showers and a cultural program that includes the renowned circus group Tholl.

Throughout the festive period, the Esplanada will also host the Gift Fair, a project to promote the work of local entrepreneurs, valuing the city's creative economy. Twenty points of sale will be available and, for those who have not yet finished their Christmas shopping, the fair becomes a mandatory stop to guarantee original, creative and memorable gifts.

To complete the experience, a Gastronomic Village will be set up on site, housing a complex of up to ten food operations.

Buriti Square

The nativity scene is an indispensable symbol of Christmas, recreating the famous night of Jesus' birth. This year, the square located in front of the Palácio do Buriti, the seat of the GDF executive branch, will be receiving an installation of 4 and 6 meter tall light sculptures, in an illuminated interpretation of the Christmas tradition. 

Cruzeiro Square

Known for its family gatherings, food trucks and musical performances, Praça do Cruzeiro will be even more popular during the Christmas season. The Magic Wheel, a special Christmas Ferris wheel, will be installed there, providing a unique view of the Brasília skyline. With local DJs playing, the public will have the opportunity to see the planned city from a new angle. Tours will be free, with tickets purchased online.
